In the mid-1970s, the Governor of Jamaica, Sir Nicholas Lloyd (Nicholas Lawes), imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began to plant them in St. Andrew. To this day, St. Andrews is still one of the three major producers of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, with the other two producing areas: Portland (Portland) and St. Thomas (St.Thomas). In eight years, Jamaica exported more than 375 tons of pure coffee. In 1932, coffee production reached its peak and more than 15000 tons of coffee was harvested. Blue Mountain Coffee is the most superior coffee in the world. Jamaica's weather, geological structure and topography provide an ideal place. The ridge that runs through Jamaica extends to the eastern part of the island, with the Blue Mountains rising to more than 2100 meters. Cool weather, foggy, frequent precipitation, use this rich soil Rain Water to reconcile. Here, a mixed planting method is used to grow coffee trees to accompany banana trees and avocado trees on terraces. Some small estates are also planted. But even the largest landowners in the region are small-scale growers by international standards, many of whom are small landowners whose families have been working for two centuries. The coffee industry in Jamaica faces a series of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, increased labor costs and difficult mechanization of terraces. It is difficult to rationalize planting on many small estates and farms

In the decades after 1872, Jamaica's economy gradually prospered, but its social and cultural development was always suppressed by the colonial authorities. Especially during the Great Depression, all walks of life in Jamaica were very dissatisfied with the depressed social situation. In 1938, workers in Jamaica revolted. After that, the colonial authorities were forced to grant local autonomy. In 1944, universal suffrage was first held in Jamaica.

In 1958, Jamaica joined the Union of the West Indies, but in 1961, voters rejected the Union Treaty, which led to Jamaica's withdrawal from the tropical rainforest climate. The rainy season is from May to June and from September to November every year, with the most showers in January and May. The dry season is from December to March next year, and the weather turns cooler. The half-year period from June to the end of November is often hit by hurricanes and tropical storms. The north-central region is rich in rainfall, the climate is generally between 22 and 32 degrees, and the annual average temperature is 27 degrees. [6]

Resourc

Jamaica's resources are mainly bauxite, with reserves of about 2.5 billion tons, ranking fourth in the world, with an exploitable capacity of 1.5 billion tons and an annual output of 15 million tons of bauxite, second only to Australia. [2] other rich resources include copper, iron, lead, zinc and gypsum. The forest area is 265000 hectares. The country is divided into three counties: Cornwall, Middlesex and Surrey. The three counties are further divided into 14 districts, of which Kingston and St. Andrews form a joint district, so there are actually only 13 district governments. The names of the districts are as follows: United District of Kingston and St. Andrew, St. Thomas, Portland, St. Mary, Santa Ana, Trelawney, St. James, Hanover, Westmorland, St. Elizabeth, Manchester, Clarendon, St. Catherine.

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. After that

The drying process 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. Coffee beans grown at low elevations and other areas can only be called "Jamaican mountain beans" or "Jamaican waterwashed beans". Compared with the Jamaican Blue Mountains, the flavor is very different, but the area of these producing areas is twice that of the real Blue Mountain area, and the output accounts for 75% of the country's output, so when you buy Jamaican coffee. Don't think you got Blue Mountain Coffee.
