In the mid-19th century, Sir Nicholas Lawes, Governor General of Jamaica, imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began planting them in St. Andrew. To this day, St. Andrew's is one of the top three growing regions for Blue Mountain coffee in Jamaica, along with Portland and St. Thomas. Within eight years, Jamaica exported more than 375 tons of pure coffee. In 1932, coffee production peaked, harvesting more than 15000 tons of coffee. Blue Mountain coffee is the most superior coffee in the world. The weather, geological structure and terrain of Jamaica provide the ideal place. 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 planting. From the above, we can understand the general production situation of Blue Mountain coffee. It should be noted that 99.9% of the Blue Mountain coffee that can be drunk in China is only planted near the Blue Mountain Mountains. Only the coffee produced in the 6000 hectares above 1600 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain, and the output has always been below 900 tons. According to the principle of 10% supply to the whole world outside Japan, Is this coffee, which the world consumes only 90 tons a year, something that can be drunk at any cafe for a few dozen yuan?

Blue Mountain Coffee is undoubtedly one of the best coffees. While price can guarantee an adequate supply of Blue Mountain coffee, it does not guarantee the coffee has the best flavor. Also, this coffee tastes a lot more expensive than it looks. To taste its best flavor, the coffee beans should be added more than other coffees, otherwise the flavor will be a little inconsistent, so the flavor lies in adding 10% to 15% more coffee beans than the coffee with the price lower than it. Blue Mountain Coffee can maintain its excellent status today, which is inseparable from local business policies. In 1932, Jamaica reduced the island's dependence on sugar exports by encouraging coffee production. The local government did not grow a large number of high-quality coffee in order to increase production value, as most coffee-producing countries did. Instead, it preferred quality to be superior, preferring to sacrifice production and ensure quality. Therefore, Jamaica is one of the countries in the world that produces less coffee. Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, produces 30 million bags of coffee a year, while Blue Mountain produces only about 40,000 bags a year.

There is rarely a single true Blue Mountain coffee bean in the "Blue Mountain" coffee market. There is a "Jamaica Blue Mountain Blend" coffee that is a blend of 30 percent Blue Mountain coffee and 70 percent of the finest Jamaica alpine coffee. [1]Both of these coffees attempt to mimic Blue Mountain coffee, but fail to achieve perfection.

Blue Mountain coffee in the United States by "cold reception," and American habits. Since the 1970s, flavored coffee has gradually become a favorite. It is to add spices to coffee beans, or to add coffee partners to brewed coffee, flavoring coffee up to hundreds of kinds. Flavoured coffee is mostly made from cheaper coffee beans. Maxwell's coffee costs $3 a pound, while Blue Mountain coffee costs $80 a pound.
