FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Blue Mountain Coffee

Have you heard that Blue Mountain Coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world? If you want to drink a cup of authentic Blue Mountain Coffee, it would likely cost quite a fortune. Besides its excellent quality, it is also extremely scarce. Many merchants in the market use blended beans, attempting to imitate Blue Mountain flavor coffee, but none can brew the original flavor.

Blue Mountain

Blue Mountain is located in Jamaica, an island nation in the West Indies of Central and South America. It is a mountain range that stretches across Jamaica's capital and Port Antonio, with its main peak reaching an altitude of 2256 meters, making it the highest mountain range in the Caribbean region. Its climate is cold and humid with high rainfall, fertile soil, and good drainage properties. The unique climate combined with excellent soil quality has created the prosperity of Blue Mountain Coffee.

Premium Blue Mountain Coffee sold in the market typically costs over 1500 yuan per pound, which is 2-3 times the price of regular specialty coffee. Blue Mountain Coffee from special estates can even sell for 3000-4000 yuan per pound, making it one of the most expensive coffee origins in the world.

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

Both Blue Mountain Coffee and High Mountain Coffee are further divided into four grades each. Ranked by quality from highest to lowest: NO.1, NO.2, NO.3, and PB (Peaberry). According to CIB (COFFEE INDUSTRY BOARD) standards, only coffee grown at elevations above 666 meters can be called Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. The ultimate among coffee treasures, coffee produced in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica at approximately 2000-2256m altitude, due to its location on steep mountain slopes, has low production yield but large beans with excellent quality and balanced flavor. It simultaneously possesses appropriate acidity, bitterness, aroma, richness, and sweetness, making it a treasure recognized worldwide. Therefore, the price of National Treasure Blue Mountain No.1 is the highest among all Blue Mountain coffees.

Authentic Blue Mountain Coffee has a balanced and rich taste, without any single flavor being overly prominent or lacking, which is something no other coffee bean can achieve. Blue Mountain flavor coffee is essentially playing with words - using blended beans to create a flavor similar to Blue Mountain Coffee, but actually not containing a single Blue Mountain bean. As for whether it tastes good, that's a matter of personal opinion.

Knowledge point: Due to the great fame of Jamaican Blue Mountain, counterfeit Blue Mountain-style coffees have appeared in the market, or simply labeled as "Blue Mountain Coffee."
