The island of Jamaica is 234km long from east to west and 82km wide from north to south, with a territorial area of 11420 square kilometers, of which the land area is 10991 square kilometers. To the east across the Strait of Jamaica, facing Haiti, about 140 kilometers north of Cuba. It is the third largest island in the Caribbean, with a coastline of 1220 kilometers. Jamaica ranks third in the West Indies after Cuba and Haiti and Kingston is also a tourist resort. It is located at the southwest foot of Lanshan, the highest peak on the island in the southeast coast bay, and there is a fertile Guaneya plain nearby. The area (including the suburbs) is about 500square kilometers, with a population of 970000. It is like spring all the year round, and the temperature is often between 23 and 29 degrees Celsius. With green hills and peaks on three sides and picturesque blue waves on one side, Jamaica is known as the "queen of the Caribbean city" as a constitutional monarchy. On August 6, 1962, the current Constitution entered into force. The head of state of Jamaica is the Queen of England, and the Governor of Jamaica is appointed by the Queen after being recommended by the Prime Minister to the Queen. In accordance with the provisions of the Jamaican Constitution, the Governor appoints the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives as the Prime Minister of the Government and appoints Cabinet Ministers on the basis of the Prime Minister's nomination. The Jamaican Parliament is composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives, which are appointed and elected. The Jamaican Labor Party and the people's National Party have been in power for a long time, and the political situation is stable, but social problems such as unemployment, poverty, drug trafficking and violent crimes are prominent. In February 2016, the Labour Party won the general election, and on March 3, Andrew Holnis was sworn in as the new prime minister.

But by 1948, the quality of coffee had declined and Canadian buyers refused to renew their contracts, so the Jamaican government set up the Coffee Industry Committee to save the fate of top coffee. By 1969, the situation had improved because the use of Japanese loans had improved the quality of production, thus ensuring the market. Even in 1969, Japanese coffee drinkers were willing to pay insurance for the coffee, but now it has reached the point of fanaticism.

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 not all coffee marked "Blue Mountain" can be grown there. Another 12000 hectares of land is used to grow two other types of coffee (non-Blue Mountain Coffee): Alpine Top Coffee (High Mountain Supreme) and Jamaican Coffee (Prime Washed Jamaican). However, Blue Mountain Coffee is a coffee that prestige coffee retailers need to stock no matter what. A leading British retailer said: regardless of the price, he will continue to sell Blue Mountain coffee all year round because he has many customers who only recognize "Blue Mountain".

Now, 90% of the post-harvest Blue Mountain coffee is bought by the Japanese. In 1992, Jamaica sold 688 tons of Blue Mountain coffee to Japan, 75 tons to the United States and 59 tons to Britain. Now that the rest of the world can only get 10% of the output of Blue Mountain coffee, regardless of the price, blue mountain coffee is always in short supply. 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).
