FrontStreet Coffee Blue Mountain Coffee

Anyone who drinks coffee has probably heard of FrontStreet Coffee Blue Mountain Coffee and knows that Jamaican Blue Mountain is excellent coffee! But are the Blue Mountain coffees we drink all genuine Blue Mountain?

'Blue Mountain Flavor'

This merely indicates that the coffee flavor resembles Blue Mountain (not necessarily actually like it), and it might not contain a single genuine Blue Mountain coffee bean.

'Jamaican Coffee'

Blue Mountain coffee is produced in Jamaica, but Jamaican coffee is not necessarily Blue Mountain coffee.

'Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee'

This is indeed Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, but to be called Jamaican Blue Mountain No. 1, some additional conditions are required.

Why is it called 'Blue Mountain Coffee'?

The Blue Mountain Range is located in the eastern part of Jamaica Island, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days when the sun shines directly on the azure sea surface, the mountain peaks reflect the brilliant blue light of the seawater, hence it is called 'Blue Mountain'. The Blue Mountain Range has fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, humid climate, and is foggy and rainy year-round. Such climate conditions have created the world-renowned Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, while also creating the world's highest-priced coffee.

Coffee from the Blue Mountain Range is divided into three grades: Jamaica Blue Mountain, Jamaica High Mountain, and Jamaica Low Mountain or Jamaica Supreme. Coffee grown below 1500 feet altitude is called Jamaica coffee, coffee between 1500 and 3000 feet is known as High Mountain coffee, and only coffee between 3000 and 5000 feet can be called Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee, with Blue Mountain coffee being several times more expensive than High Mountain coffee. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is further divided into No. 2 and No. 1, with No. 1 being the most premium grade.

Currently, the top-quality Jamaican Blue Mountain No. 1 is produced mainly at Wallenford, Mavis Bank, Old Tavern, RSW Estate, and other locations, where Wallenford is the only special Jamaican state-owned processing plant. The legal production area for Blue Mountain coffee is 3000-5000 feet. Wallenford Estate only selects Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans grown above 4000 feet altitude for processing. The Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee produced by Wallenford Estate is even acclaimed as 'Superior Quality'. Among coffee connoisseurs' evaluations of all Jamaican Blue Mountain estates, Wallenford Estate performs best in quality management, stability, reputation, and flavor.

How is the flavor of Wallenford Blue Mountain No. 1?

General evaluations are nothing less than acidic, sweet, mellow yet not bitter, with excellent quality that leaves an unforgettable aftertaste once tasted.
