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. Coffee grows on a mountain of up to 1800 meters (about 6000 feet), for small seeds.

The real Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the world's best grown coffees, and Jamaica's weather, geology and terrain combine to provide the ideal location. Designated Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee can only be grown in the Blue Mountains region, in Kingston, Jamaica in the eastern north of the island. Coffee is grown on hills up to 1800 meters (almost 6000 feet) high, which is quite high for Arabica, and the hills are very uneven, making the harvesting process very difficult (coffee is harvested almost exclusively by women). The trees are mainly small grain species "Geisha High Bred" type. Seeds from these trees have been exported to other countries like Hawaii, Kenya, Papua New Guinea and elsewhere, but there too they have the ability to recreate the flavor of Blue Mountain coffee beans.

In the steep and high altitude mountains, carefully cultivated and harvested, all Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is ground, tasted and distributed by the Jamaica Industry Association. The coffee in the cup tastes very clean, and it is one of the sweetest coffees in the world. This flavor has been described by Jim Reynolds in Peet Coffee and Tea: "The best example of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is its aromatic, smooth, dense, and gem-like quality. It's precious like a jewel. It's complex, but it's very mild, it's sweet, it's very alcoholic. You must taste it in order to know what I am talking about." The unique growing conditions and care taken in all production processes make Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee famous.

Jamaica is one of the world's smaller coffee producers, harvesting about 40000 bags-60 kg/sack a year (Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is actually shipped in 70kg barrels, they are the last country to still use this traditional packaging method, but their production is 60kg/sack, because that is the international standard for coffee production measurement). Compare Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, with annual production at 3000000 bags-60 kg/sack.

The Japanese invest heavily in Jamaica's Blue Mountain coffee growing regions and take a 90 percent share of production each year. The rest of the world must bid for the remaining 10 percent, or 3500 barrels. Real Blue Mountain coffee has a unique flavor that makes it the most expensive coffee in the world. It is in extremely high demand, so there is some shortage in the market.

The unique growth conditions give rise to the unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee, which also makes it one of the "best coffee". Global 100% Pure Blue Mountain Coffee is produced in a specific area of the Blue Mountains in eastern Jamaica. Every step of its cultivation period and processing process has passed the strict quality control standards of the Jamaica Coffee Industry Bureau before it can be certified as "Pure Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee."

The abundant rainfall, annual fog and low temperature of about 20℃, fertile new volcanic soil and other special conditions in the Blue Mountain constitute a good growth environment for Blue Mountain Coffee. Located at altitudes of 2500 to 5000 feet, it has a distinctive slightly sour taste without any irritation or discomfort. Seedlings are cultivated in nurseries for about 2 years, organic fertilizers are used during their growth, and they are harvested manually one by one. All processing, roasting and packaging must meet the high standards set by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board.

Typica is the best variety in Arabica. While most coffee producing countries prefer to grow only other varieties with higher yields but lower quality, Jamaica prioritizes quality and prefers to sacrifice Blue Mountain coffee production for the best quality.

100% pure Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee, strong attractive elegant flavor, but other coffee can not catch up with, when after grinding, brewing and tasting steps, but also let its flavor play to the extreme, surrounded by coffee fragrance teaching people not drunk is difficult! Its caffeine content is very low, only about half of other varieties of coffee, in line with modern people's health requirements.
