The tradition of making Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee can maintain today's top status, but also closely related to the local business policy. In 1932, Jamaica adopted a policy to encourage coffee production to reduce the island's dependence on sugar exports. Unlike most coffee-producing countries, the local government does not plant a large number of high-quality and poor-quality coffee in order to increase output, but to give priority to quality, preferring to sacrifice the output of coffee to ensure the quality of Blue Mountain coffee. Therefore, Jamaica is currently one of the countries with low coffee production in the world. 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.

In addition, the processing and production of Blue Mountain Coffee is also very elegant. Strict and detailed standards have been established for processing, baking and packaging, and there are regulations on what kind of organic fertilizers are needed during the growth period. All are harvested manually at harvest time. Jamaica is also the last country to still transport coffee in traditional wooden barrels.

Only through this series of stringent standards set by the Jamaican Coffee Industry Authority can coffee obtain a guarantee issued by the government and officially bear the name "Blue Mountain".
