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.

In the mid-twenties, Nicholas, Governor of Jamaica. Arabica seeds imported by Sir Nicholas Lawes from Martinique

And began to popularize planting in the St. Andrew area. Coffee trees were introduced to Jamaica to grow coffee in the Blue Mountains.

The flavor is the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee, so there is no bitterness at all, only a moderate and perfect sour taste.

The Blue Mountains are located in the east of the island of Jamaica (Jamaica), because the mountain is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, whenever the weather is clear.

The sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the mountain peak reflects the bright blue light of the sea, hence the name. The highest peak of Blue Mountain is 2256 meters above sea level.

It is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. It is located in the coffee belt, with rich volcanic soil and 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 has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, as well as the highest price 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.

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.

Before this year, Lanshan No.1 coffee can only be washed. The peel, pulp and mucous membrane were removed by washing and fermentation.

Farms that use the washing method must build washing ponds and be able to introduce an endless supply of running water. When dealing with it, remove the peel and pulp first.

Let it ferment for 18 hours, then put the mellow beans into the pool and pass them back and forth, using the friction of the beans and the power of running water to wash the coffee beans until smooth and clean.

After washing, the coffee beans are still wrapped in the pericarp with a moisture content of 50% and must be dried to reduce the moisture content to 12-14%.

Otherwise, they will continue to be mellow, moldy and rotten. After that, the coffee beans are screened and stored in a special warehouse. These procedures must be strictly mastered, otherwise, the quality of the coffee will be affected.

In 2020, the Blue Mountain producing area also exported a batch of sun-treated Blue Mountain No.1 coffee. Qianjie was also introduced and baked at the first time.

In fact, the production of this sun-tanned Blue Mountain coffee is also very difficult. Why there was only water washing before, that is because water washing is the most essential embodiment of ensuring the flavor of Blue Mountain.

If you change the treatment method, it will certainly change its flavor structure. That's why Qianjie Coffee introduces coffee beans in a certain producing area to guests every time.

Will first recommend washed coffee beans, because washing can best represent the flavor of the producing area. Of course, Blue Mountain Coffee is treated in the sun, and more of it follows the development of the market.

The Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee (the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board), established by the Government of Jamaica in 1950, is the only government-administered coffee body in the world, which sets quality standards for Jamaican coffee and oversees its implementation to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee. The Commission awarded special official seals to raw and roasted coffee exported from Jamaica, which is the highest-level national coffee institution in the world.
