According to the regulations of the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board, only coffee grown at altitudes between 2,000 and 5,000 feet qualifies to be called Blue Mountain Coffee. The soil and climate in this altitude region are key factors in shaping premium coffee beans.

The cultivation of Blue Mountain Coffee requires specific altitude regions. Generally, the higher the altitude, the better the quality of the coffee beans.

Blue Mountain Coffee beans typically grow on steep slopes at high altitudes, making conditions extremely challenging and sometimes dangerous for coffee farmers when it comes to weeding, planting, and harvesting. Blue Mountain Coffee beans are harvested once or twice a year, and during harvesting, only coffee beans with optimal ripeness are selected to ensure the unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee.

Amber Blue Mountain Coffee grows at altitudes above 1,800 meters, making it unique among Blue Mountain Coffee beans. Other Blue Mountain estates grow at altitudes around 1,500 meters, and these estates' coffee beans produce two seasons annually. However, Amber Estate's Blue Mountain Coffee, growing at the crown of the Blue Mountains, produces only one season per year. This is why some people consider it a misconception. We know that Panama's Geisha from the Emerald Estate grows at only about 1,600 meters altitude.

Amber Blue Mountain Coffee is so precious and scarce that it naturally becomes the ultimate treasure among Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee varieties and has fittingly become Jamaica's national treasure. At major Jamaican diplomatic occasions, Amber Blue Mountain Coffee is considered to represent Jamaica's highest honor. During the Shanghai World Expo, Amber Blue Mountain Coffee beans were the only Blue Mountain Coffee representative exhibited by Jamaica, serving as the pride and representative of the Jamaica Pavilion. In 2008, when US President Obama visited Jamaica, the Jamaican government presented Amber Blue Mountain Coffee as a national gift to President Obama, demonstrating the special status of Amber Blue Mountain Coffee in Jamaica, which cannot be compared with other estate Blue Mountain coffees.

The reason Amber Blue Mountain Coffee enjoys such a high reputation in Jamaica is primarily due to its exceptional quality. Not only because its high altitude results in slow bean development, but more importantly, its unique flavor captivates everyone who tastes it. Amber Blue Mountain Coffee beans are about 17 screen size, uniform and full. Known as the "Coffee Beauty," Amber Blue Mountain Coffee offers a smooth taste and rich aroma, leaving endless room for imagination and a lasting aftertaste.

Knowledge Point:

The Jamaica Coffee Industry Board samples coffee beans from each batch, roasts and grinds them, then brews three cups of coffee. Senior cuppers follow procedures to taste them. Only if at least two out of three cups meet the standards can the coffee be awarded Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee certification.
