History of Blue Mountain Coffee in Jamaica

The history of Jamaican coffee can be traced back to the 18th century, when King Louis XV of France ordered the cultivation of coffee in Jamaica in 1717, and in the mid-1920s, the Governor of Jamaica Nicholas. Nicholas Lawes imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began to plant them in St. Andrew. Coffee trees have been introduced into Jamaica and coffee is grown in the Blue Mountains, which is divided into high-altitude Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, Alpine Coffee and Jamaican Coffee. Different grades also determine different prices. 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 Blue Mountain is 2256 meters above sea level (2256m above sea level, coffee can only be grown below 1700m, above is protected forest), it 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, with an average precipitation of 1980 mm and a temperature of about 27 degrees. This climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and the highest price coffee in the world.

The true success of Blue Mountain Coffee in the world stems from a plan in the 1950s, when the Jamaican government designated the Renaissance Coffee Plan and set up CIB to manage coffee production. After the strict regulations of CIB, it is clear that the grade of coffee in the Blue Mountain area is clearly divided. The best coffee bean is Blue Mountain one, which can only be called Blue Mountain Coffee in the core area of the Blue Mountain. Because the elevation here is more than 900m, it belongs to the highest terrain in the Blue Mountain area. High altitude will make the coffee flavor better.

The coffee varieties grown in the whole Blue Mountain area are iron pickups, all of which are washed, which makes the quality of blue mountain coffee beans very good. There are more defects in the coffee beans treated by the sun in the same period. Only coffee beans with more than 17 mesh in this area can be called Lanshan No. 1 coffee beans.

Authentic Blue Mountain Coffee is currently in circulation in the market using water washing treatment. After manual picking of coffee cherries, preliminary screening will be carried out first, unripe and overripe coffee cherries will be removed before peeling, and ensure that they will be completed within 12 hours, followed by traditional washing and fermentation, and then moved to the cement platform for sun drying. After a long time of slow sun drying, the coffee flavor will be strengthened. Dry until the moisture content is 11%-13%, the bag is placed in the warehouse and cooked, the temperature of the warehouse is controlled at 24-25 ℃ and the humidity is controlled by a dehumidifier, and the flavor is stable for 2 to 3 months before shipment. When customers place orders, they shell at low temperature, polish, blow off silver dust, and manually screen defective beans such as broken beans, abnormal color, mold infection, etc., each skilled worker can only select about 75 pounds of raw beans a day. Each workstation transports raw coffee beans in wooden pots to avoid fragmentation or other process defects, and then sealed in unique barrel packaging from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The Jamaican coffee shop Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica (CIB) Regulatory Section will check whether the flavor of each batch of coffee meets the standard before being exported by air.

With the major changes in the coffee market in the past 10 years, it has also affected the layout of Blue Mountain producing areas. in 2020, Blue Mountain launched a sun-treated version of Blue Mountain Coffee, breaking the water-washed version for the first time. Of course, the current high-precision sun treatment can also achieve fewer defects, high quality, and different from the flavor of washing treatment. The sweetness of blue mountain coffee beans treated by the sun is more obvious.

In addition to the change in treatment, micro-batches of Blue Mountain Rose Summer Coffee beans were also launched in 2020, which Jamaica hired the famous Panamanian Hartman family to guide the cultivation. Qianjie also tried a barrel of 15kg in 2020, with a rosy summer flavor, with sweet and sour flavors of citrus and pomelo, jasmine and honey.
