Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee – Delicious and Expensive

Known as one of the most delicious and most expensive coffees in the market, the Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, like its name suggests, is grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The region is located between Kingston and Port Maria and is considered as one of the highest mountains in the Caribbean.

This island nation produces the most aromatic and exhilarating coffee in the world. This type of coffee is cultivated 7402 feet above sea level, which is the highest point in the country. The climate in the mountains is cool and misty with high amounts of rainfall. The soil is rich and has excellent drainage.

The great climate, combined with the soil quality, makes the region perfect for growing world-class coffee beans. The produce has a distinctive mildness in flavor and does not leave a bitter aftertaste.

There are several green coffee bean specifications in the brand that are responsible for the exquisite coffee blend. Largely because of the location where the crops are grown, the coffee is blue green in color and produces an intense aroma, good acidity and clean taste.

The Blue Mountain No. 1 beans has Screen 17/18 sizes, has 4% maximum smaller beans and 2 % maximum defect.

The Blue Mountain No. 2 beans has Screen 16 sizes, has 4% maximum smaller beans and 2% maximum defect.

The Blue Mountain Peaberry are beans that come from single seed berries. They have Screen 10 size and have 4% smaller beans and 2% maximum defect.

The Blue Mountain Triage has bean sizes from the other specifications and only 4% or less of the beans have significant defects.

The Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is certified by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica and is therefore a globally protected certification mark. The cultivation of the beans is closely monitored by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica.
