Introduction to the flavor and taste of the Blue Mountain Coffee Manor of Jamaica Fine Coffee

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.

In 1950, the Government of Jamaica established the Jamaica Coffee Industry Committee (the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board), 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 Memphis River Embankment Central Factory (M.B.C.E), Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative 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 (Lanli).

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 of land is used to grow two other types of coffee (non-Blue Mountain Coffee): Alpine Top Coffee (High Monuntain Supreme) and Jamaican Premium Coffee (Prime Washed Jamaican).

Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the most advantageous coffee growing conditions in the world. Jamaica's weather, geological structure and topography provide a unique ideal place. The ridge that runs through Jamaica extends to the eastern part of the island, with the Blue Mountains rising to more than 2100 meters. Cool weather, foggy, frequent precipitation, use this rich soil Rain Water to reconcile. Here, a mixed planting method is used to plant coffee trees to accompany banana trees and avocado trees on terraces.

Some small estates also grow Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Wallenford Estarte, Silver Hill Eatate, and J. Martinez) Atlanta Manor (Atlantn Estate), etc. 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 on the land for two centuries. The coffee industry in Jamaica faces a series of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, increased labor costs and difficult mechanization of terraces. It is difficult to rationalize planting on many small estates and farms.

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, however, Blue Mountain Coffee is a coffee that coffee retailers that value credibility need to stock up anyway. The major retailer in the UK said: no matter what the price, he will continue to sell Blue Mountain coffee all year round because he has many customers who only recognize "Blue Mountain".

As Japan has always invested in the Jamaican coffee industry, the cultivation of Blue Mountain Coffee is now mostly controlled by the Japanese, and there is no doubt that they have also won the right of priority 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. Now, 90% of the harvested Blue Mountain coffee is bought by the Japanese. Now that the rest of the world can only get 10% of Blue Mountain, Blue Mountain coffee is always in short supply, regardless of the price. In the UK, Langford Brothers Brothers has been the only supplier for many years. Later, the Edmunds Group (Edmonds Group) also received a supply from Jamaica's Salda Food Company (Salda Foods).
