Flavor description of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Bean introduction to the varieties produced in the manor area

As early as 1728, the British Governor in Jamaica, Sir Nicholas Strauss (Sir Nicolas Lawes), brought the first coffee seedlings to Jamaica from Martinique. By 1790, some coffee farmers among the refugees in exile from Haiti had settled in the Blue Mountains and brought coffee-growing technology here. In 1838, Jamaica abolished slavery, allowed freed slaves to cultivate their own land, and freed slaves moved to the mountains to grow coffee and exported it to Britain. These coffees became more and more popular in British society.

The Jamaican government gives a very strict definition of Blue Mountain Coffee: it must be grown in the coffee growing area of the Blue Mountain defined by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Council (The Coffee Industry Board) at an altitude of 3000-5000 feet above sea level, processed by government-certified roasting and processing enterprises and inspected by the Coffee Industry Committee in order to be a real "Blue Mountain Coffee". The Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee (CIB) was established by the Jamaican government in 1950. The main function of the Coffee Industry Committee is to regulate and guide the development of Jamaican coffee industry, ensure coffee quality, formulate blue mountain coffee industry standards, delineate blue mountain coffee planting areas, and test the quality of exported blue mountain coffee products. Each batch of blue mountain coffee exported by Jamaica must be inspected by the coffee industry committee and certified by the international caffeine organization before it is allowed to be exported. Only then can it be called Jamaican blue mountain coffee.

Alpine coffee plantations are located in Clarendon, St. Catherine and St. James. The company's business runs through the whole process of coffee production, from planting, primary processing, storage and sale of raw beans to coffee roasting and sales of cooked beans, and has developed new related products in recent years. Since the establishment of the Jamaica Coffee Industry Committee, it has established a long-term and close cooperative relationship with Valenford Coffee Co., Ltd. Most of the current national standards for coffee cultivation and processing in Jamaica come from Valenford Coffee Co., Ltd. It is precisely because of this, coupled with the special status of the only state-owned enterprise in the Jamaican coffee industry, that many people confuse Valenford Coffee Co., Ltd. with the Jamaica Coffee Industry Committee. So that both sides can only take the trouble to explain that Canada and the United Kingdom have been the major consumers of Jamaican coffee in history. Since 1985, Japan has become a major importer of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Annual imports account for 85% of Jamaica's annual output. But in recent years, the demand for boutique coffee in the Chinese market has become increasingly strong. Some shrewd merchants began to sell Blue Mountain Coffee to China from countries and regions such as Europe, North America, Japan and Hong Kong, but the problem of product quality assurance also emerged and intensified. In this regard, the Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee has increased its attention to the Chinese market and actively recommended high-quality Jamaican coffee to the Chinese market.
