The so-called Blue Mountain is a mountain in Jamaica, which has a good climate and is an excellent coffee producing area (coffee origin). Because of this, the real Blue Mountain coffee is regarded as a kind of fine coffee (specialty coffee).

But not all the coffee on the Blue Mountain is called Blue Mountain Coffee. Only coffee at a specific altitude is certified (certificated). The annual output is so small that most people do not have access to it.

When it comes to Blue Mountain Coffee, we have to mention one country-- Jamaica, located in Central America and the Caribbean, is a small tropical island country. Due to the humid and rainy climate, it has formed an area rich in high-quality coffee beans in the eastern mountains. Blue Mountains are among them, because the Blue Mountains are surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Whenever the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the blue sea. The mountain peak reflects the bright blue light of the sea, hence its name.

The status of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee in the coffee world is like the Rolls Royce in cars and Patek Philippe in watches. People who love Blue Mountain Coffee even say: "it is a 'coffee beauty' that combines all the advantages of good coffee."

Since it is a beauty, it is not common. The CCTV Economic Channel did a special report in 2013, claiming that all the Blue Mountain coffee in the Chinese market was a fake. They interviewed Courtney Rattray, the Jamaican ambassador to China, who said that the output of Blue Mountain coffee is extremely low, 85% of the coffee is monopolized by Japan, 10% is supplied to the European and American markets, and basically does not export to China. Most cafes in Beijing claim to import raw beans of Blue Mountain Coffee from Jamaica and bake them themselves. Ambassador Rattray said that so far, Jamaica has not exported raw beans directly to China. The so-called import of raw beans from abroad, domestic baking is obviously a lie.

How does Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee taste? The Jamaican Blue Mountains of Front Street Coffee is mellow, balanced and smooth, with soft fruit acidity, chocolate and nutty, caramel flavors.
