The Blue Mountain legal coffee producing area in Jamaica is constantly shrouded in blue fog, so it is named "Blue Mountain". Blue Mountains is located in eastern Jamaica, across 45 km, 20 km wide, up to 2260 meters above sea level, is the highest mountain range in the Caribbean. The Blue Mountains are covered with fertile soil with excellent drainage and are very suitable for coffee cultivation.

Located in the legal Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Mavis Bank is also one of the raw bean processing plants certified by the Jamaican government, about 10 miles northeast of the capital Kingston, and has been operated by the Munn Family family since 1885.

Originally the Moon family planted and processed the harvested coffee cherries on Strawberry Hill on the west side of the Blue Mountain. The present-day Mavis Bank processing plant was founded by Victor Munn in 1920 and then taken over by Victor and Keble Munn. Keble is not only an agricultural operator, but also the first certified cup tester in Jamaica. Mavis Bank is already the largest coffee gathering place in Jamaica, and in order to ensure coffee quality, the processing plant collects raw beans from single farms or small farmers in specific areas of the Blue Mountains. The coffee planting and processing area is located in the mountain area with an average of 1600 to 900m, with sufficient altitude, mild clouds in the afternoon, sufficient sunshine and mineral-rich planting soil to provide good growth conditions for coffee trees. it also prolongs the ripening of coffee cherries.

In the raw bean treatment stage, only the raw bean is ripe into red fruit, and then manual selection and the elimination procedure of floating fruit are the basic conditions. Farmers send the remaining coffee cherries to another washing station, and then carry out the second selection, and remove the flesh before the evening. Then carefully sift out any overfermented, unripe or worm-eaten cherries in a large tank before pectin removal. After pectin removal, the shell beans are placed on the cement slate and dried in the sun for 5 days, then bagged and stored for at least 10 minutes. Finally, the peeled raw beans will carry out the last procedure of picking defects by hand. Mavis Bank has the most complete raw bean processing equipment in Jamaica and has 6000 farmers. Under the management of the Moon family, established M.B.C.F, a world-renowned, quality assurance trademark.

In particular, the No.1 grade Blue Mountain Coffee with a bean size of 17x18 mesh and a defect rate of less than 2% is strictly selected.
