Learn about Top Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee is recognized as the best in the world because of its unique growing environment and the strict management of the Jamaican government.

The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Whenever the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea, hence the name. The highest peak of the Blue Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. It has suitable temperature, fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round, which provides a perfect environment for the growth of coffee and creates the unparalleled flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee.

In history, due to the lack of quality standards, the export quality of Blue Mountain coffee was uneven, which greatly affected its international reputation. Until 1943, Canada, a big importer of Blue Mountain coffee, refused to import Blue Mountain coffee. In order to improve the quality of coffee, the Jamaican government has taken a series of measures to regulate the coffee industry and established the Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee CIB (the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board) in 1948. The committee sets quality standards for Jamaican coffee and oversees their implementation. Each batch of exported Blue Mountain coffee beans will be sampled and tested by quality supervision experts, and only those coffee beans that meet the standard can obtain the quality recognition certificate issued by the Coffee Industry Committee of Jamaica.

There are three main types of Jamaican coffee:

Blue Mountain Coffee (Blue Mountain Coffee)

Alpine Top Coffee (Jamaica High Mountain Supreme Coffee Beans)
