The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, hence its name because it is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea.

The highest peak of the Blue Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. It is located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round (average precipitation of 1980 mm, temperature of about 27 degrees). This climate and ultra-high altitude have created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

Introduction to Clifton Farm of Jamaican Coffee

Clifton Hill is by far the oldest coffee producer in Jamaica, and only Clifton Farm in Jamaica has a "tropical rainforest" logo.

It is recognized as a very high quality and world-famous producing area of Blue Mountain Coffee. Its elegant large house farm is located on an island in the Newcastle area on the eastern slope of Mount Catherine at an elevation of 4300 feet.

History.

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. Clifton Hill is divided into two parts: 427 acres of 80 acres of coffee pastures at the top of the mountain, 111 acres of coffee and 264 acres of pastures at the foot of the mountain.

The Blue Mountain area is a small area with a planting area of only 6000 hectares, and it is impossible to grow all the coffee marked "Blue Mountain" there. Today's Clifton Farm is the largest estate in the area and is also a small-scale plantation by international standards, many of which are small landowners whose families have been working on the land for two centuries.

Ms. Marianne Ross, a famous British painter and writer, visited Jamaica and spent five months on Clifton Hill. 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. "

The coffee planting and processing area falls at an average of 4300 feet (1310.64 meters), with sufficient altitude, mild afternoon cloud shade, adequate sunshine and mineral-rich planting soil to provide good growth conditions for coffee plants. it also prolongs the ripening of coffee cherries.

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, similar to the French wine industry that founded AOC.

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.
