The Origin of Blue Mountain Coffee

The world-renowned Blue Mountain coffee comes from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. Located in the eastern part of Jamaica, these mountains earned their beautiful name when a British soldier, seeing the peaks shrouded in blue radiance, exclaimed, "Look! Blue mountains!" - and so they were named the Blue Mountains. Jamaica is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, and on clear days sunlight reflects off the sea, wrapping the surrounding mountains in a subtle, ethereal blue haze through the refraction of the azure water, creating a mysterious, dreamlike atmosphere.

Unique Growing Conditions

Most of the Blue Mountains rise above 1,800 meters, with the highest peak at 2,256 meters, making it the tallest mountain in the Caribbean region and a famous tourist destination. Blue Mountain coffee's unique flavor is intrinsically linked to its exceptional geographical location and climate. Situated within the coffee belt between 25° north and south latitude, the Blue Mountains enjoy fertile young volcanic soil, fresh unpolluted air, year-round rainfall and, most importantly, the daily afternoon cloud cover that wraps the peaks. This natural phenomenon not only shades the coffee trees but also brings abundant moisture, producing Blue Mountain coffee's outstanding taste and aroma.

Roasted to a medium-dark level, the FrontStreet Jamaica Blue Mountain No.1 lets its classic balance unfold: nut, dark chocolate and creamy caramel with a soft sweetness, and acidity, sweetness, bitterness and aroma all in harmony. Whether you brew it as an everyday specialty coffee or give it as a premium gift, it shows why this legendary coffee has stayed in fashion for decades. Traditional Blue Mountain is shipped in wooden barrels of 15, 45 and 70 kilograms, and those barrels - along with complete export and origin documentation - are what distinguish a genuine lot.
