Blue Mountain Coffee refers to coffee brewed from coffee beans grown in Jamaica's Blue Mountains. It is categorized by grade into Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and Jamaica High Mountain Coffee. The Blue Mountain Range is located in the eastern part of Jamaica Island. When the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the azure Caribbean Sea, and the mountain peaks reflect the brilliant blue light of the seawater, hence its 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, possessing fertile volcanic soil, fresh air free from pollution, and a humid climate with year-round fog and rainfall (average precipitation of 1,980 mm and temperature around 27°C). Such climate conditions have created the world-renowned Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, as well 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 the harvesting process extremely difficult. Only local skilled female workers can handle this challenging task. It's crucial to select perfectly ripe coffee beans during harvesting, as under-ripe or over-ripe beans will affect the coffee quality. After harvesting, coffee beans must be hulled the same day, then fermented for 12-18 hours. Following this, the coffee beans undergo washing and screening. The next step is drying, which must be done on concrete floors or thick blankets until the coffee beans' moisture content drops to 12%-14%. They are then stored in dedicated warehouses. When needed, they are taken out for roasting and then ground into powder. These procedures must be strictly controlled, otherwise, the coffee quality will be affected.

Variety: Typica

Processing Mill: Abbey Green Farm

Flavor Profile: Perfect balance of sweet, acidic, and bitter notes

The shipment volume of Blue Mountain Coffee is extremely limited. 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 area. To this day, the St. Andrew region remains one of Jamaica's three major Blue Mountain Coffee producing regions, with the other two being the Portland region and the St. Thomas region.

Identifying Genuine vs. Fake Blue Mountain Coffee

1. Appearance

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

2. Grinding

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

3. Aroma

The aroma is very rich and dense; so-called Blue Mountain blends do not have this characteristic aroma.

4. Taste

Genuine Blue Mountain coffee has a balanced and rich flavor profile, with no single taste being prominent or lacking. This is the most crucial identification point that no other coffee bean can match. Blue Mountain peaberries have a more subtle aroma but relatively stronger flavor profile.

5. Sensation

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