Flavor and taste of Jamaican boutique coffee beans introduction to the characteristic varieties of Blue Mountain Coffee in Manor area

Since the late 16th century, Jamaica has been repeatedly attacked by pirates from France, England, the Netherlands and other countries. In May 1655, a British fleet led by William Bing and Robert Venables occupied Jamaica. They immediately invited pirates to the island's port of Loire to help defend the Spaniards from possible counterattacks. Between 1657 and 1658, the Spaniards fought back from Cuba and ended in failure.

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.

When Andrew Holnis, the youngest prime minister in Jamaica's history, was sworn in in Kingston, Jamaica, on October 23, 2011, everyone's eyes lit up because it produced the world's best "Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee" (Jamaica Blue Mountain). We absolutely believe that Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is the best coffee, its acid, sugar, alcohol and bitterness are well balanced, fragrant and smooth to drink, but its price is so high that although it is worth a try, there is no need to be fascinated by it. Because other selected coffee also has its own characteristics, and the taste is delicious, the price is also reasonable, this is the good coffee in our life.

The earliest "Jamaican Blue Mountain" refers to the coffee produced by "Warren Ford Farm" and "Silver Hill Farm", with the former of the best quality; today, the Jamaican Blue Mountain refers to coffee beans growing in the Blue Mountain area (more than 1000 meters high) east of Kingston, the capital of Jamaica. Now Mawei is the largest manor, its barrel is printed with M.B.C.F, and its products are often found in Taiwan. The quality control of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica is very strict, and the certification work is carried out by the government's "Coffee Industry Committee".

Coffee beans that generally grow at low elevations and other areas can only be called "Jamaican mountain beans" or "Jamaican waterwashed beans". Compared with the Jamaican Blue Mountains, they have a lot of flavor, but, these producing areas are twice the size of the real blue mountain areas, and the output accounts for 75% of the country's output, so when you buy Jamaican coffee, don't think you bought blue mountain coffee.

Because Jamaica Blue Mountain is so famous, there are fake Blue Mountain Coffee on the market, or simply called "Blue Mountain Coffee". It is basically a comprehensive product prepared by the store. there may not be a real Jamaican blue bean in it.

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.
