FrontStreet Coffee - Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Introduction

The world-renowned Blue Mountain Coffee is produced in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The Blue Mountains stretch across the eastern part of Jamaica Island, with the highest peak reaching an altitude of 2,256 meters, making it the highest peak in the Caribbean region. The reason for this beautiful name is that when British soldiers first arrived in Jamaica, they saw the peaks shrouded in blue light and exclaimed: "Look! Blue mountains!" From then on, it was named "Blue Mountains."

In fact, the blue appearance comes from Jamaica Island being surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, bright sunlight shines on the sea surface, and the mountains are refracted by the azure sea water, shrouding them in a faint, ethereal blue atmosphere.

The unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee is related to its exceptional geographical location and climate conditions. The Blue Mountain coffee belt is located between 25 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees south latitude. Here, there is fertile new volcanic soil, fresh air without pollution, year-round rainfall, and significant day-night temperature differences (average precipitation is 1,980 millimeters, temperature around 27 degrees). Most importantly, every afternoon, clouds and mist envelop the entire mountaintop, not only providing natural shade for the coffee trees but also bringing abundant moisture, making Blue Mountain Coffee's taste and aroma stand out from the rest.

Only coffee grown in the Blue Mountain region above 2,000 feet altitude can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. Coffee beans produced in lower mountain areas can only be called "Jamaica High Mountain Coffee." The same coffee tree species, when planted in any other place with similar climates such as Hawaii or Kenya, cannot produce the unique taste of Blue Mountain Coffee beans.

Pure Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is unparalleled by other coffees. Those who love Blue Mountain Coffee describe it as "a coffee beauty that combines all the advantages of good coffee, with an aromatic, smooth, and rich taste, feeling as precious as a gem."

Knowledge Point: The "secret" to why Blue Mountain Coffee has such pure flavor: their coffee trees all grow on rugged mountain slopes, making the harvesting process extremely difficult. Only skilled local female workers can handle this task.
