Introduction to Blue Mountain Coffee in the producing area of Silver Mountain Coffee Manor in Jamaica

The earliest coffee on the island of Jamaica came from Haiti in Latin America in 1728. By 1790, some coffee farmers among the refugees in exile from Haiti had settled in the Blue Mountains and brought coffee-growing technology here. In 1838, Jamaica abolished slavery and allowed liberated slaves to cultivate their own land. Free slaves moved to the mountains to grow coffee and exported it to England. Coffee has come to be known for its admiration by the British upper class. This kind of coffee is the Blue Mountain coffee that fascinates coffee lovers all over the world today.

Pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee perfectly combines the unique sour, bitter, sweet, mellow and other flavors of coffee to form a strong and attractive elegant flavor, which is unmatched by other coffee. People who love Blue Mountain Coffee say: "it is a 'coffee beauty' that combines all the advantages of good coffee." Jim, general manager of Pitt, which is famous for its coffee and tea business in the United States, said of Blue Mountain Coffee: "it tastes fragrant, smooth and mellow, and it makes me feel as precious as a gem. It is precisely because the taste of Blue Mountain coffee is moderate and perfect, so Blue Mountain coffee is generally drunk in the form of black coffee. "

Traditional production technology

Blue Mountain Coffee can maintain today's top status, but also closely related to the local business policy. In 1932, Jamaica adopted a policy to encourage coffee production to reduce the island's dependence on sugar exports. Unlike most coffee-producing countries, the local government does not plant a large number of high-quality and poor-quality coffee in order to increase output, but to give priority to quality, preferring to sacrifice the output of coffee to ensure the quality of Blue Mountain coffee. Therefore, Jamaica is currently one of the countries with low coffee production in the world. Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, produces 30 million bags of coffee a year, while Blue Mountain produces only about 40, 000 bags a year.

In addition, the processing and production of Blue Mountain Coffee is also very elegant. Strict and detailed standards have been established for processing, baking and packaging, and there are regulations on what kind of organic fertilizers are needed during the growth period. All are harvested manually at harvest time. Jamaica is also the last country to still transport coffee in traditional wooden barrels.

Only through this series of stringent standards set by the Jamaican Coffee Industry Authority can coffee obtain a guarantee issued by the government and officially bear the name "Blue Mountain".
