A brief introduction to the cultivation of boutique coffee beans in Valenford Manor, Blue Mountain Coffee, Jamaica

It is harvested entirely by hand, and in terms of transportation, Jamaica is the last country to still use traditional wooden barrels to transport coffee. What is even more special is that each barrel is accompanied by a certificate issued and sealed by the Jamaican government to prove its pure pedigree.

Most importantly, every afternoon, clouds cover the top of the mountain, which not only shades the coffee trees naturally, but also brings abundant water vapor, which makes the taste and aroma of Blue Mountain coffee outstanding. The same coffee trees taste very different whether they are planted in Hawaii, Kenya, Papua New Guinea or anywhere else with a similar climate. Coffee beans from the lower mountains of Jamaica can only be named "Jamaican Alpine Coffee". As a result, the real Blue Mountain coffee is very small, producing no more than 40, 000 bags (about 2.4 million kilograms) a year, while Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, produces 30 million bags of coffee a year.

At the same time, the processing and production process of Blue Mountain Coffee is also very elegant. There are strict and detailed standards for processing, baking, packaging, etc., even to what kind of organic fertilizers are needed during the growth period.

After a series of stringent standards set by the Jamaican Coffee Industry Authority, coffee can obtain a guarantee issued by the government, officially known as "Blue Mountain". The real Blue Mountain Coffee perfectly combines the sour, bitter, sweet, mellow and other flavors of coffee, which makes other coffee unmatched. Therefore, Blue Mountain Coffee is generally drunk in the form of black coffee.
