Notes:

1. Due to the extremely limited production of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, if you want to taste Jamaican-flavored coffee, Jamaican High Mountain Coffee is also an excellent choice. Of course, MoreFlavor has a small amount of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee each year.

2. Both Blue Mountain Coffee and High Mountain Coffee are divided into four quality grades: NO.1, NO.2, NO.3, and PB (Peaberry).

The true annual production of what can be called Blue Mountain Coffee is less than 900 tons, and with the principle that only 10% is supplied to the entire world outside Japan, this coffee—of which the world can only consume less than 90 tons annually—can it really be something you can drink for just a few dozen yuan at any coffee shop?

According to World Trade Organization and China Customs data, Jamaica's total global export volumes over the past 5 years are as follows:

2011: 842 tons
2012: 592 tons
2013: 692 tons
2014: 449 tons
2015: 555 tons

Among these, China's import volumes over the past 5 years are as follows:

2011: 19 tons
2012: 17 tons
2013: 3 tons
2014: 2 tons
2015: 2 tons

(All are official statistical data for reference only)

Although China's import trade volume is very small, appearing almost not to constitute a national scale... but! Its trade value has bravely entered the top 20, ranking 17th! After all, Jamaican Blue Mountain is so expensive... with standards of over 10,000 yuan per barrel, not just any player can enter the market to transport entire containers back to China.
