Certifying Authenticity for Jamaican Blue Mountain Peaberry Coffee

Jamaican Blue Mountain Peaberry Coffee is recognized as one of the most prized and famous exotic coffees worldwide. Recognized and established growers have steadily increased cultivation and production of what is regarded as the “Best Coffee in the Caribbean” and quite possibly the "Best Coffee in the World." Today, significant improvements in processing and the application of rigid quality control by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board ensure that only the best beans are offered to discerning consumers. Because of the restricted geographical range where it is grown, this specialty coffee has a limited supply. Additionally, 90% of the crop is sold to Japanese customers while the remaining 10% is left for the rest of the world, impacting the already high demand and, as a result, making it one of the rarest coffees available in modern-day coffee markets.

To maintain this coffee's high quality and minimize the sale of fraudulent versions of this sparse coffee, Jamaica has established the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board to oversee this crop’s production and processing. Certified Blue Mountain Coffee must be grown at altitudes ranging between 2,000 and 5,000 feet in the Parishes of Portland, St. Andrew, and St. Thomas. Jamaican High Mountain usually describes a somewhat lesser coffee that is grown at lower altitudes than this in other parts of the island.

Most coffee labeled as such and sold in today’s global markets are actually not 100% Pure Blue Mountain Coffee, but instead are blends or mislabeled products. These inauthentic items are usually labeled as "Blue Mountain Style" coffees for sale containing the taste characteristics of the original crop, but in reality, may not have a single bean of legitimate Jamaican Blue Mountain Peaberry Coffee. Volcanica Coffee only imports Certified 100% Pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Peaberry Coffee directly from the island.

The spine of the blue mountains runs across Jamaica and ends in the eastern portion of the island in the Blue Mountains, which reaches over 7,000 feet.

Most beans are grown by small family farmers rather than huge coffee estates seen in other regions.
