Why Blue Mountain Coffee Is So Expensive? This has nothing to do with the Japanese love the light blue mountain flavor. In addition, Jamaica is small in area and low in yield, but natural disasters and insect disasters occur frequently, which is no different from worse.

From 2000 to 2006, Jamaica coffee production ranged from 1,260 to 2,000 tons. Blue Mountain accounted for about 25% of the total production, that is, the annual production of authentic Blue Mountain was about 300 to 600 tons, 90% of which was contracted by Japanese, which was expensive and difficult.

Jamaica's certified authentic Blue Mountain coffee region refers to the four eastern administrative regions including St Andrew, St Thomas, St Mary and Portland, which happens to be the foothills across the Blue Mountains. The altitude is 1000~1700 meters, and the area is only about 6100 hectares. Only when planted in this area and meeting the altitude of 1000~1700 meters can it be authentic Blue Mountain. Even if planted in these four administrative areas, but only 500~1000 meters above sea level is not called Blue Mountain Coffee, but a lower grade of Jamaica Mountain Coffee (Jamaica IIgh Momtain); below 500 meters above sea level, it is a worse Jamaica Supreme Coffee (Jamaica supreme). The other 1,210,000 hectares of coffee growing area outside these four regions cannot be called Blue Mountain Coffee. Jamaica officials have strict regulations for Blue Mountain coffee. Keep in mind that only 25% of Jamaica coffee qualifies as Blue Mountain.
