The main producing areas and manors of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee introduce Silver Mountain Manor

It is necessary to carefully understand the myth of Blue Mountain Coffee, because the image of the past is often inconsistent with the reality of today. In 1725, Sir Nicholas Roth brought the first Blue Mountain Coffee from Martinique to Jamaica and planted it in the St. Andrews area. Today, St. Andrew is still one of the three major producers of Blue Mountain Coffee, while the other two are Portland and St. Thomas producing area. In eight years, Jamaica exported more than 375 tons of pure coffee. In 1932, coffee production reached its peak and more than 15000 tons of coffee was harvested.

But in 1948, the quality of coffee had declined and Canadian buyers refused to renew their contracts, so the Jamaican government set up the Coffee Industry Committee to save the fate of top coffee. By 1969, the situation had improved because the use of Japanese loans had improved the quality of production, thus ensuring the market. Even in 1969, Japanese coffee drinkers were willing to pay a deposit for the coffee, but now it has reached the point of frenzy.

By 1981, about 1500 hectares of land in Jamaica had been reclaimed for coffee cultivation, followed by investment in another 6000 hectares of coffee land. In fact, today's Blue Mountain area is a small area with a planting area of only 6000 hectares, and it is impossible to grow all the coffee marked "Blue Mountain" there. Another 12000 hectares are used to grow two other types of coffee (non-Blue Mountain Coffee): Alpine Top Coffee (High Mountain Supreme) and Jamaican Superior Coffee (Prime Washed Jamaican).

The real Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the most advantageous coffee growing conditions in the world. Jamaica's weather, address structure and topography provide a unique ideal place. The ridge across Jamaica extends to the east of the island, and the Blue Mountains are more than 2100 meters high. The cool weather, foggy weather and frequent rain reconcile the fertile land of Rain Water, where people use mixed planting to grow coffee next to banana and pear trees on terraces.
