Jamaica Coffee Estate Flavor Taste Introduction Atlanta Estate Jamaica Coffee Bean Characteristics

In 1717 King Louis XV of France ordered coffee to be grown in Jamaica, and in the mid-1920 s, the Governor of Jamaica, Nicholas. Nicholas Lawes imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began to plant them in St. Andrew. To this day, St. Andrews is still one of the three major producers of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, with the other two producing areas: Portland (Portland) and St. Thomas (St.Thomas). 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. The Jamaica Coffee Industry Committee (the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board) was established by ZF in 1950, which sets quality standards for Jamaican coffee and oversees the implementation of quality standards to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee. The Commission awarded special official seals to raw and roasted coffee exported from Jamaica, which is the highest-level national coffee institution in the world. At present, there are six kinds of marks that can represent the origin of Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Mavis Bank Coffee Factory (M.B.C.F), Blue Mountain Coffee Co-operative Factory (M.H.C.C.T.), Portland Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (P.X.X.S.H.), Coffee Industry Association (Wallenford), Coffee Industry Association (St. John's Peak) and J.A.S.

By 1969, the situation had improved because the use of Japanese loans had improved the quality of production, thus ensuring the market. By now, this kind of coffee has reached the point of being feverishly loved.

By 1981, about 1500 hectares of land in Jamaica had been reclaimed for coffee cultivation, followed by the opening of 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: Alpine Top Coffee and Jamaican Superior Coffee.

Geographical advantages of ●

Blue Mountain Coffee is the most superior coffee in the world, and the weather, geological structure and topography of Jamaica provide an ideal place. The ridge that runs through Jamaica extends to the eastern part of the island, where it is foggy all the year round, with frequent precipitation, pure air and bright sunshine, which reconciles the island of Rain Water. Here, a mixed planting method is used to grow coffee trees to accompany banana trees and avocado trees on terraces. Some small estates are also planted. But even the largest landowners in the region are small-scale growers by international standards, many of whom are small landowners whose families have been working for two centuries. The coffee industry in Jamaica faces a series of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, leaf rust, increased labour costs and difficult mechanization of terraces. Many small estates and farms are difficult to rationalize.

Since Japan has signed a 30-year contract with the Jamaican Coffee Industry Authority (CIB) to continue to invest in the Jamaican coffee industry, before 2009, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee was basically underwritten by Japanese consortia. For example, in 1992, Jamaica sold 688 tons of Blue Mountain coffee to Japan, 75 tons to the United States and 59 tons to Britain. In 2008, after the contract between the two sides expired, they were facing a global economic crisis, the Japanese economy was in the doldrums and their purchasing power was declining. Coupled with the awakening of Jamaican coffee farmers and their unwillingness to be monopolized by Japanese businessmen, the price of raw coffee beans was raised sharply. So far, Japan's purchase of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee has dropped from 90% to less than 60%. This also brought an opportunity to the Hangzhou Coffee and Western Food Industry Association team in Hangzhou, China, which was dominated by @ Blue Mountain Coffee in 2010, and signed the sole distributor of Jamaican raw beans with an annual quota of 70 tons in China.

● classification

There are three varieties of Jamaican coffee: Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee (Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee), Alpine Coffee (Jamaica High Mountain Supreme Coffee Beans) and Jamaican Coffee (Jamaica Prime Coffee Beans). Among them, Blue Mountain Coffee and Alpine Coffee are each divided into four grades. From top to bottom in terms of quality, NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and PB,PB are round beans. According to CIB standards, only coffee grown above 666m above sea level is called Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, while coffee grown in Jamaica's Blue Mountain area below 666m is called Alpine Coffee, and coffee grown outside the Blue Mountains is called Jamaican Coffee. It turns out that people in the coffee industry in China generally have a wrong understanding that only coffee grown in the Blue Mountains above 1800 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. In fact, there is only one manor on the top of the Blue Mountains above 1800, that is, Amber, which is of Chinese descent. The owner of the manor is surnamed Lyn (Lin). Originally from Guangdong, China, the manor has a land area of only 30 hectares and its output is very small. Blue Mountain Coffee is mainly distributed in John Crow,St.John's Peak,Mossman's Peak,High Peak,Blue Mountian Peak and other five mountainous areas in the Blue Mountains.
