I heard that Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee is famous all over the world, and I yearn for it for a long time. Not long ago, I took advantage of the opportunity to interview this Caribbean island country to appreciate the strong and thick aroma of Blue Mountain Coffee, and fulfilled a long-cherished wish in my heart.

Drive from Kingston, along the winding mountain road to the famous scenic area of the Blue Mountains Strawberry Villa. Appreciating the mountains in front of you and the seascape in the distance, it is very comfortable to have a cup of authentic Blue Mountain coffee. Blue Mountain coffee taste alcohol, acid, sweet, bitter moderate, there is a kind of attractive elegant flavor, really different from other varieties of coffee.

Jamaica is a small country, northeast of Kingston is the Blue Mountains. Most of the peaks of Blue Mountain are more than 1800 meters above sea level, and the famous Blue Mountain Coffee grows in this mountain area. Coffee in Jamaica was introduced in 1723 by a French naval officer from a nearby area, but the cultivation of the crop did not initially attract enough attention. Blue Mountain coffee emerged in 1932 following an important decision by Jamaica authorities to encourage coffee cultivation to reduce dependence on sugar exports.

Blue Mountain Coffee's unique flavor is related to Blue Mountain's geographical location and climatic conditions. Generally speaking, south of the Tropic of Cancer and north of the Tropic of Cancer, this area is suitable for growing coffee, known as the "coffee belt". Jamaica is just south of the Tropic of Cancer. Blue Mountain steep, fresh air, no pollution, rainy all year round, large temperature difference between day and night, has a unique fertile new volcanic soil. Most importantly, every afternoon, clouds cover the whole mountain area, which not only provides natural shade for coffee trees, but also brings abundant water vapor. Superior geographical and climatic conditions, so that the taste and aroma of Blue Mountain coffee outstanding, to be superior to other similar.

In addition to outstanding natural conditions, Blue Mountain coffee from planting, picking, to cleaning, shelling, roasting, etc., each process is very particular, there are strict standards. For example, there are clear regulations on what organic fertilizer needs to be used in which growing period, picking and many subsequent procedures are completed by hand, most of which are female workers. Jamaica is one of the last countries to ship coffee in traditional barrel packaging in order to guarantee the quality of coffee during transportation.
