Boutique coffee beans Blue Mountain Coffee latest Information the latest introduction to Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain coffee is coffee brewed from coffee beans from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. Among them, according to grades, it is divided into Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and Jamaica Alpine Coffee. The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of Jamaica Island. They are named because they are surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Whenever the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea. Blue Mountain peak elevation of 2256 meters, is the highest peak in the Caribbean, is also a famous tourist attraction. Located in the coffee belt, it has fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all year round (average precipitation is 1980 mm, temperature is about 27 degrees), which creates the world-famous Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and also creates the second highest coffee price in the world. This kind of coffee has all the characteristics of good coffee, not only the taste is rich and mellow, but also because the sweet, sour and bitter flavors of coffee are perfectly matched, so there is no bitterness at all, only moderate and perfect sourness.

Blue Mountain Coffee is the world's premier coffee, and Jamaica's weather, geology and terrain combine to provide the ideal location. Ridges running through Jamaica extend to the east of the island, and the Blue Mountains rise to more than 2100 meters. The weather is cool, foggy and frequent, so use this rich soil to reconcile rain. Here, coffee trees are grown in a mixed cropping system, alongside banana and avocado trees on terraces. Some small farms are also planted. But even the region's largest planters are small-scale farmers by international standards, many of them smallholders whose families have been working for two centuries. The coffee industry in Jamaica faces a number of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, increased labour costs and difficulties in mechanising terraces. Many small estates and farms are difficult to rationalize.

Since Japan has always invested in Jamaica coffee industry, Blue Mountain coffee is mostly controlled by the Japanese, and they have also obtained the right of first refusal to buy Blue Mountain coffee. In 1992, Jamaica sold 688 tons of Blue Mountain coffee to Japan, 75 tons to the United States and 59 tons to Britain. 90% of Blue Mountain Coffee is purchased by Japanese. Since the rest of the world can only get 10% of Blue Mountain coffee, Blue Mountain coffee is always in short supply regardless of price.
