Specific altitude, air humidity, rainfall, light and other factors have created the famous king of coffee-Blue Mountain Coffee. Most of the Blue Mountains are more than 1800 meters above sea level. The unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee is related to the unique geographical location and climatic conditions of the Blue Mountains. There is fertile new volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, rainy all the year round, and there is a great temperature difference between day and night. Every afternoon, clouds cover the top of the mountain, which not only shades the coffee trees naturally, but also brings abundant water vapor. It makes the taste and aroma of Blue Mountain coffee outstanding.

Blue Mountain Coffee can maintain its top status today, which is closely related to the local management policy. Unlike most coffee-producing countries, the Jamaican government does not plant high-quality coffee on a large scale in order to increase its output. Instead, it insists on giving priority to quality, preferring to sacrifice output to ensure quality, thus effectively ensuring the precious and high quality of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.

In 1948, the world-famous Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority (CIB) (the highest-level national coffee organization in the world) was formally established, while the Jamaican government legislated the Jamaica Blue Mountain Industry Management Act. The definition of Blue Mountain is strictly stipulated in the law. That is, it only grows in the Blue Mountain area prescribed by the Jamaican Coffee Industry Association, and the planting height is more than 1524 meters (5000 feet). The coffee produced by the factory that has obtained the certification certificate of five regulations can only be called "Blue Mountain Coffee". In order to ensure the purity of Blue Mountain Coffee, all exported Blue Mountains must not only meet the above requirements, but also pass a series of rigorous appraisal by CIB, obtain a guarantee issued by the government, and affix a recognition seal with an official permission logo before it can be exported with the name of "Blue Mountain Coffee".

One of the two famous Blue Mountain Manors in Jamaica: Wallenford Manor

Wallenford Cafe is the largest plantation in the Blue Mountains. It is the birthplace of the myth of Blue Mountain Coffee. Wallenford Coffee is the largest and most trusted coffee processing company in Jamaica.

Wallenford's super blue beans are selected from plantations across the central and western regions of the island. Due to different climate and soil conditions, the coffee beans are full-bodied, slightly sour and peaceful, with a pleasant fragrance. Superb farming technology makes coffee trees grow better.
