Where does Blue Mountain Coffee come from?

Blue Mountain Coffee comes from Jamaica. The history of growing coffee in Jamaica can be traced back to the 18th century. In 1717, King Louis XV of France ordered the cultivation of coffee in Jamaica. Later, the Governor of Jamaica introduced and promoted Arabica varieties from Martinique. Coffee has been rooted in the land of Jamaica, which we call Jamaican coffee.

Planting altitude and environment

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.

Located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round (the average precipitation is 1980 mm, the temperature is around 27 degrees), this climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. It also creates the highest price coffee in the world. The real Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the most advantageous coffee growing conditions in the world. The weather, geological structure and topography of Jamaica provide a unique ideal place. Designated Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee can only be grown in the Blue Mountain area, in Kingston, Jamaica is in the eastern north of the island. The ridge across Yatoujia extends to the east of the island, and the Blue Mountains are more than 2100 meters high. The cool weather, foggy weather and frequent rainfall reconcile the rich land of Rain Water. Here people use mixed planting to grow coffee trees next to banana and avocado trees on terraces. Moreover, the mountain is very uneven, and the process of harvesting is very difficult (the coffee harvester is almost entirely female). Their coffee trees are on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is so difficult that non-local skilled female workers are simply unable to do it. It is very important to choose the right ripe coffee beans when picking. Immaturity or ripeness will affect the quality of the coffee.

What kind of blue mountain coffee beans are they? Qianjie Coffee Lanshan No. 1 coffee bean is a Tibica variety, the top leaves of the iron pickup are bronzed, the beans are oval or thin, the tree is tall, the branches are slightly tilted, and the angle is 50 Mueller 70 degrees. The flavor is elegant, but the physique is weak, and the disease resistance is poor. The coffee yield of each tree is very low. Blue Mountain Iron Card was transplanted from Martinique to Blue Mountain in Jamaica in the 1820s. After more than 200 years, Blue Mountain Iron pickup has evolved better disease resistance, especially better resistance to fruit rot than ordinary iron pickup. However, the Blue Mountain Ironhide Card cannot replicate its sweet and fragrant characteristics when it steps out of Jamaica.

Processing method of Blue Mountain Coffee Bean

Blue Mountain Coffee uses water washing treatment, which lays the foundation for Blue Mountain Coffee to have a clean taste. Coffee has been grown in Jamaica for more than 200 years and has been treated with water. First pick the red fruit of coffee and remove the sand, gravel and bad fruit through the sink. And then peeled and fleshed.

Then soak in the pool for 48 hours before washing off the sticky pectin layer. Then put it on an elevated bed to dry until the moisture content is 12%. Due to the strict treatment process, the appearance of the blue mountain coffee beans is exquisite, full and uniform, and the color is evenly green.

In 2020, Blue Mountain produced a batch of sun-treated Lanshan No. 1 coffee beans.

Authentic Blue Mountain coffee is packaged into buckets after it is processed, and Blue Mountain coffee beans are the only coffee beans in the world that use wooden buckets for export.
