Cliff Manor in Jamaica the origin and geographical location of Jamaica

When you say Jamaica, your eyes light up because it produces the best Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee in the world. We absolutely believe that Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is the best coffee, it has a good balance of acid, sugar, alcohol and bitterness, it tastes fragrant and tastes very smooth; however, it is too expensive, and although it is worth trying, there is no need to be fascinated by it. Because other selected coffees also have their own characteristics, and taste delicious, the price is reasonable, this is the good coffee in our life.

The earliest "Jamaica Blue Mountain" refers to the coffee produced by "Wallenford Farm" and "Silver Hill Farm", with the former having the best quality; today's "Jamaica Blue Mountain" refers to coffee beans grown in the Blue Mountain area (more than 1000 meters high) east of Kingston, the capital of Jamaica. Now the largest estate in the country, M.B.C. F is printed on its barrels, and its products are often found in Taiwan. Jamaica Blue Mountain is a very strict quality control, by the government "Coffee Industry Council" certification work.

Coffee beans generally grown at low altitudes and other regions can only be called "Jamaica mountain beans" or "Jamaica washed beans." Compared with Jamaica Blue Mountain, the flavor is much different. However, these producing areas are twice the area of the real Blue Mountain region and account for 75% of the country's production. Therefore, when buying Jamaica coffee, don't think that you have bought Blue Mountain coffee.

Because Jamaica Blue Mountain is too famous, therefore, there will be counterfeit Blue Mountain coffee on the market, or simply called "Blue Mountain Coffee," basically this is the store's own blend of products, which may not have a real Jamaica Blue Mountain bean.

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.
