FrontStreet Coffee - Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Introduction

Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the finest coffees in the world, renowned for its exceptional quality and excellent taste. Its extraordinary value and preciousness stem from the unique natural environment of Jamaica's Blue Mountains.

The Blue Mountain Range is located in eastern Jamaica, where the climate is humid with year-round fog and rainfall. Such climatic conditions have created the world-renowned Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, characterized by its balanced harmony of acidity, bitterness, sweetness, and richness. With its unique and intense fruity aroma and mellow aftertaste that leaves one wanting more, it is considered by the World Coffee Organization as "the coffee that cannot find flaws in the world."

The Blue Mountain region, situated atop high mountains with rugged and uneven terrain, presents enormous difficulties for planting and harvesting. Therefore, coffee harvesters are almost entirely local skilled female workers. The timing of coffee picking must be precise, as both unripe and overripe fruits will affect the coffee quality. After harvesting, coffee cherries must be hulled on the same day, followed by 12-18 hours of fermentation.

Subsequently, the coffee beans undergo washing and selection. The next step is drying, which must be conducted on concrete floors or thick blankets until the coffee beans' moisture content drops to 12%-14%. They are then stored in dedicated warehouses. These procedures must be strictly controlled; otherwise, the coffee quality will be affected.
