Import/ export fees and because it's the best coffee ever. This coffee has developed a reputation that has made it one of the most expensive and sought-after coffees in the world. Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is a globally protected certification mark meaning that only coffee certified by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica can be labeled as such. It comes from a recognised growing region in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica where are some of the highest mountains in the Caribbean. 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. Traditionally, only coffee grown at elevations between 3,000 and 5,500 feet (1,700 m) could be called Jamaica Blue Mountain. BTW,I went to Jamaica and paid only $16. for a 2-lb bag. Jablum brand is the most expensive and the best.
