What is Blue Mountain Coffee?

Blue Mountain coffee refers to coffee brewed from beans grown in Jamaica's Blue Mountains. It is categorized by grade into Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and Jamaica High Mountain Coffee. The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of Jamaica. When the weather is clear, the surrounding Caribbean Sea reflects brilliant blue light onto the mountain peaks, giving them their name. The highest peak of Blue Mountain reaches 2,256 meters, making it the highest peak in the Caribbean region.

This area lies within the coffee belt, featuring fertile volcanic soil, fresh and unpolluted air, a humid climate with year-round fog and rain (average precipitation of 1,980mm and temperature around 27°C). These conditions have created the world-renowned Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, which also ranks as the second most expensive coffee in the world.

The "Secret" Behind Blue Mountain Coffee's Pure Flavor

Their coffee trees all grow on rugged mountain slopes, making harvesting extremely difficult. Only skilled local female workers can handle this challenging task. Selecting perfectly ripe coffee beans during harvest is crucial, as under-ripe or overripe beans will affect the coffee quality. After picking, the coffee beans must be hulled the same day, then fermented for 12-18 hours. Following this, the beans undergo washing and screening.

The next step is drying, which must be done on concrete floors or thick blankets until the beans' moisture content drops to 12%-14%. They are then stored in special warehouses. When needed, the beans are taken out for roasting and then ground into powder. These procedures must be strictly controlled; otherwise, the coffee quality will be affected.

Scarce Production of Blue Mountain Coffee

In 1717, French King Louis XV ordered coffee cultivation in Jamaica. In the mid-1720s, Jamaica's Governor Sir Nicholas Lawes imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began promoting cultivation in the St. Andrew region. To this day, St. Andrew remains one of the three major producing regions for Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, with the other two being the Portland region and the St. Thomas region.

How to Identify Authentic Blue Mountain Coffee

1. Appearance

Raw Blue Mountain coffee beans are blue-green in color, very uniform in appearance, and medium to small in size with slightly upturned ends. After roasting, they expand significantly in volume and become very full.

2. Grinding

True Blue Mountain coffee beans grow at high altitudes, giving them a looser cytoplasmic structure. When ground by hand, they feel crisp, smooth, and continuous without any resistance.

3. Aroma

The aroma is extremely rich and dense. So-called "blended Blue Mountain coffee" lacks this characteristic aroma.

4. Taste

Authentic Blue Mountain coffee offers a balanced and full-bodied flavor with no single taste being overpowering or lacking. This is the most critical identification point that no other coffee bean can match. Blue Mountain peaberries have a more subtle aroma but a relatively stronger taste.

5. Sensation

As the world's finest coffee with classic balanced characteristics, Blue Mountain coffee naturally brings a subconscious, indescribable sense of satisfaction when tasted.
