About Blue Mountain Coffee

Jamaica's Blue Mountain is the highest mountain in the Western Caribbean, 2256 meters above sea level, dominated by fertile volcanic soil, Rain Water is rich, temperature, sunshine are very suitable for coffee tree growth, so Blue Mountain coffee quality is outstanding, coupled with relatively small production, annual output of less than 2500 tons, coupled with Japan's UCC company due to historical reasons (later on) to buy the vast majority of beans, the price has been high (relatively speaking).

Purchase and Identification of Blue Mountain Coffee

In the early years, there were no formal import channels in China, and Blue Mountain, which was already relatively rare, was even more rare in China. It was forced to drink a cup of Blue Mountain Coffee, which was forced to break the watch. As a result, "Blue Mountain Coffee in domestic cafes are fake", "Blue Mountain Coffee can not be bought in China" and other theories have even spread to this day. However, even in the days when there were no formal channels, the Blue Mountain coffee consumed in China still accounted for 15% of the world's total consumption. so much so that Jamaicans were so surprised that they almost dislocated their jaw (probably mainly because of the price of Blue Mountain coffee in the Chinese market. As a result, we began to pay attention to the Chinese market, and now it is not difficult to buy Blue Mountain coffee in China. Hangzhou Dan Shirui is the sole agent. The channel is not limited to this one. There are both private channels and cooked beans imported through a third country.

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. Another 12000 hectares are used to grow two other types of coffee (non-Blue Mountain Coffee): Alpine Top Coffee and Jamaican Coffee.

Today, St. Andrew is still one of the three major producing areas of Blue Mountain Coffee, while the other two are Portland and St.Thomas. Some small estates also grow Blue Mountain Coffee, such as WallenfordEstate, SilverHillEstate and AtlantaEstate in J.Martinez. Even the largest landowners in the region are small-scale growers by international standards, many of whom are small landowners whose families have been working on the land for two centuries.

At present, there are six marks that can represent the origin of Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Memphis River Embankment Central Factory (M.B.C.E), Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (M.H.C.C.T.), Portland Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (P.X.X.S.H.), Coffee Industry Association (Wallenford), Coffee Industry Association (St. John's Peak) and J.A.S (Lanli). There are also some manor grades that are marked on the barrel.
