Many connoisseurs in the world believe that Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the best in the world. The excellent balance of aroma, mellow thickness and acidity makes Blue Mountain Coffee very special. However, what really sets Blue Mountain Coffee apart is its round, sweet aftertaste.

In 1953, the Jamaican government established the Jamaican Curry Industry (CIB) to regulate and guarantee the quality of Jamaican coffee. Jamaica was the first country in the world to assign a clear geographical location to a specific coffee brand, along with the French wine industry to create AOC

(Appellationd'Origine Controlle é) is somewhat similar. All coffee exported from Jamaica is sent by CIB. And rigorous tests by trained quality control experts ensure that all exports are 100% authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.

History of Jamaican Coffee

As early as the mid-18th century (around 1750), Clifton Farm began to grow and produce coffee. According to a survey conducted by the Jamaica Institute in 1810, Robert Hamilton was the owner of the farm at that time. This map shows that Clifton Mountain is divided into two parts: 427 acres of pastures with 80 acres of coffee at the top, 111 acres of coffee and 264 acres of pastures at the foot of the mountain.

In 1872, Ms. Marianne Ross, a famous British painter and writer, visited Jamaica and stayed on Clifton Hill for five months. In her autobiography memories of Happy Life, she mentions the Clifton Hotel where she stayed: "the Clifton Hotel belongs to a local gentleman who has lost his wife. Instead of staying in a hotel, he rents it to different people every week, so that more people can experience the cold air at an altitude of 5000 feet and have the opportunity to walk among the best and oldest coffee plantations in Jamaica. "
