Specialty coffee Blue Mountain from Jamaica is one of the world's most prestigious and sought-after varieties of coffee. It comes from the Blue Mountains, a mountain range in eastern Jamaica, where coffee cultivation has a long and illustrious history. The Blue Mountain coffee is mainly of the Arabica variety and is grown at high altitudes, usually over 1500 meters above sea level. The cool climate and rich volcanic soil of the Blue Mountains create a unique environment for coffee cultivation and give the coffee beans a distinctive flavor profile. In terms of taste, Blue Mountain coffee often has a mild and balanced flavor with a silky body and low acidity. It is known for its subtle flavors and complexity, including notes of nuts, chocolate, flowers and sometimes fruitiness. Because Blue Mountain coffee is so sought after and delicious, it is often a premium product and can be quite a bit more expensive than other coffees. This is due to its limited availability, unique growing environment and high quality standards.
