Certification. Jamaican Blue Mountain Gourmet Coffee is protected worldwide as a certification trademark meaning that only coffee certified by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica can be labeled as such.
It comes from a recognized growing region in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica and its cultivation is monitored by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica.
Growing Region. The Blue Mountains are generally located between Kingston to the south and Port Maria to the north. Rising to 7500 feet, they are some of the highest mountains in the Caribbean.
Perfect Climate. The climate of the region is cool and misty with high rainfall. The soil is rich with excellent drainage. This combination of climate and soil is considered ideal for coffee.
Additionally, only coffee grown at elevations between 3,000 and 5,500 feet may be called Jamaica Blue Mountain. (All land in Jamaica above 5,500 feet is a forest preserve, so no coffee is grown there.)
