Blue Mountain Coffee: Premium Caribbean Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee is a high-quality Caribbean coffee that, like coffee from other countries, suffers damage from natural hurricanes. Having seen too many damaged beans with cupping results that taste like kale, prices are always affected in years when hurricanes strike, sometimes making the coffee completely unsellable. Additionally, the hot and humid environment of island nations often causes coffee to suffer from insect damage or develop white spots. Truly flawless coffee beans are always rare. Added to this, Japanese companies purchase 70-80% of Blue Mountain Coffee, keeping prices high. All genuine high-altitude 100% pure Blue Mountain Coffee is produced through official Jamaican processing plants. The coffee is packed in special wooden barrels, and each barrel comes with a certificate.

RSW Blue Mountain Coffee

RSW Blue Mountain Coffee is composed of three local coffee estates from Jamaica's Blue Mountain region: Resource, Sherwood Forest, and Whitfield Hall. It represents the most stable and highest quality among Blue Mountain coffees. Each estate has a history spanning over 1800 years. The estate owners joined hands in cooperation, and several years later created the legend of barrel-aged Blue Mountain estate brand coffee. RSW only processes coffee from its own group of estates and never buys beans from other estates. They primarily use the Sherwood coffee processing plant (built before 1800) as their exclusive processing facility. Coffee cherries from all three estates are sent here for processing. Freshly harvested coffee cherries are placed in a humidity-controlled storage room, and every detail of the processing process is handled with extreme care to provide buyers with the finest Blue Mountain Coffee.

Geographic Advantages of the Blue Mountain Region

This is related to the unique geographical location and climate conditions of the Blue Mountain region.

The Jamaican Blue Mountain region boasts fertile new volcanic soil, fresh air with almost no pollution. This region experiences year-round rainfall with significant temperature differences between day and night. Furthermore, due to the special geographical environment here, clouds and fog envelop the entire Blue Mountain peak every afternoon. This not only provides shade for the coffee trees but also brings abundant moisture. It is precisely these favorable geographical conditions that make the taste and aroma of Blue Mountain Coffee unparalleled among coffees produced worldwide.

Not all coffee produced in the Blue Mountain region can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. Only coffee grown at altitudes above 1800 meters in the Blue Mountain region can be called "Blue Mountain Coffee." Coffee beans produced in the lower altitude Blue Mountain mountain areas, due to quality differences, can only be named "Jamaica High Mountain Coffee" and cannot be called "Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee."

Market Situation and Clifton Farm

Most Blue Mountain Coffee that consumers drink is typically blended from other coffee varieties with a small amount of Blue Mountain beans. Even if willing to buy beans to grind and brew themselves, one pound of Blue Mountain Coffee beans costs as much as two to three thousand New Taiwan Dollars. FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain Coffee comes from Clifton Farm in Jamaica, which can be said to have a very long history. The Blue Mountain region is a small area with only 6,000 hectares of planting area, making it impossible for all coffee labeled "Blue Mountain" to be grown there. Today's Clifton Farm is the largest estate in this region, and by international standards, it still counts as small-scale cultivation, with many estate owners being small landholders whose families have worked this land for two centuries.

Clifton Farm's Unique Processing Methods

Clifton Farm's coffee cultivation and processing areas are situated at an average altitude of 4,300 feet (1,310.64 meters). Sufficient altitude, gentle afternoon clouds and mist enveloping the mountain forests for shade, ample sunlight, and mineral-rich planting soil provide excellent growing conditions for coffee trees and also extend the maturation period of coffee cherries.

Clifton's high altitude and long history, coupled with its distinctive processing methods, give Clifton Coffee not only the characteristic round and smooth mouthfeel of Blue Mountain No. 1 but also rich flavors with subtle floral notes.
