In 1670, according to the Madrid Treaty, Spain formally ceded Jamaica and other places to Britain, and the British immediately used the island of Jamaica as a base for their acts of piracy. Before the earthquake destroyed the port of Loire in 1692, it once became the "capital" of Caribbean pirates. Since then, the British built Kingston and gradually built it into the central city of Jamaica.

In the 150 years after 1692, Jamaica became a world-famous producer of sugar, rum and coffee. [4] in order to maintain a large number of plantations, the Royal Africa Company was established in England in 1672.

After 1865, after another large-scale uprising, Britain declared Jamaica a colony under direct jurisdiction in 1866. At the end of the 19th century, the sugar industry in Jamaica gradually declined and was replaced by banana farming. In 1872, Kingston officially became the capital of Jamaica.

In the decades after 1872, Jamaica's economy gradually prospered, but its social and cultural development was always suppressed by the colonial authorities. Especially during the Great Depression, all walks of life in Jamaica were very dissatisfied with the depressed social situation. In 1938, workers in Jamaica revolted. After that, the colonial authorities were forced to grant local autonomy. In 1944, universal suffrage was first held in Jamaica.

In 1958, Jamaica joined the Union of the West Indies, but in 1961, voters rejected the Union Treaty, which led to Jamaica's withdrawal.

On August 6, 1962, Jamaica declared its independence and joined the Commonwealth after its independence.

On October 23, 2011, Andrew Holnis, the youngest prime minister in Jamaican history, was sworn in in Kingston, Jamaica.

In 1717 King Louis XV of France ordered the cultivation of coffee in Jamaica for twenty years.

In the mid-1970s, the Governor of Jamaica, Sir Nicholas Lloyd (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. The origin of Blue Mountain Coffee can be represented by 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 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 of land is used to grow two other types of coffee: Alpine top coffee and Jamaican premium coffee.
