Mainly distributed in John Crow,St.John's Peak,Mossman's Peak,High Peak,Blue Mountian Peak and other five peaks

The "secret" of why Blue Mountain coffee tastes pure: their coffee trees are all on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is so difficult that non-local skilled women are simply unable to do it. It is very important to choose the right ripe coffee beans when picking. Immaturity or ripeness will affect the quality of the coffee. The picked coffee beans are shelled on the same day, and then let them ferment for 18 hours. After that, the coffee beans were cleaned and screened. The subsequent process is to dry, which must be carried out on the cement floor or on a thick blanket until the humidity of the coffee beans drops to 12% 14%. And then store it in a special warehouse. Take it out and roast when needed, then grind it into powder. These procedures must be strictly mastered, otherwise, the quality of coffee will be affected.

The best Blue Mountain Coffee is undoubtedly one of the best coffee available. Although the price can ensure an adequate supply of Blue Mountain coffee, it does not guarantee the best flavor of the coffee. Also, this kind of coffee tastes much more expensive than it looks. If you want to taste its best flavor, you have to put more coffee beans than other coffee, otherwise the flavor will be a little different, so the flavor is that it has 10% to 15% more coffee beans than the coffee whose price is inferior to it.

Jamaica is one of the small coffee-producing regions in the world, with an annual harvest of about 40000-60 kg / sack (Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is actually shipped away in 70kg barrels, and they are the last country to still use this traditional packaging method, but they produce according to 60kg/ sacks, as that is the international standard for measuring coffee production). Compare Brazil, the world's largest exporter of coffee, with an annual production of 30000000 bags to 60 kg per sack.

The Japanese have invested heavily in the blue mountain coffee breeding area of Jamaica and have won 90% of the annual production. The rest of the world must bid for the remaining 10%, or 3500 barrels. The real Blue Mountain Coffee has a unique taste, making it the most expensive coffee in the world. Its demand is very high, so some of the market is in short supply.
