When you think of the words "Blue Mountain," what do you think of? If you were to ask a dozen different people this very question, you would be very likely to get a dozen different answers. Depending on the geographical location of the person whom you are asking this question, and many of their other characteristics, they may associate the name Blue Mountain with any one, or several, of dozens of different Blue Mountains.
Someone who has no personal knowledge of any particular blue mountain would probably assume that it is, quite literally, a mountain somewhere in the world, and they would be right. In fact, there are several blue mountains in the world that are in fact actual mountains; you can find a Blue Mountain in Jamaica, Canada, India, and half a dozen Blue Mountains in the United States of America. There is a Blue Mountain ski resort located in Ontario, Canada, and several towns named Blue Mountain in the United States, from Alabama and Arkansas to New York and Pennsylvania. The many Blue Mountains should not be confused with the Blue Ridge Mountains, which actually, strangely enough, are one place in the United States of America that does not have a mountain that goes by the name. The Blue Ridge Mountains are a chain of mountains that run along the eastern coast of the United States, in areas such as the Carolinas, while most of the Blue Mountains are located much further west.
While you can see that there are several different places and geographical features that make use of the name, these are only a few of the things that a person may be thinking of when they use the words. There is also a Blue Mountain Arts greeting card company, which makes actual greeting cards, as well as having a prominent online presence. The company provides free online greeting cards, also known as e-cards, that you can send to a person via e-mail. There is also an alternative country band that makes use of the name, that has released a self titled album. There is also a Canadian pottery company that makes use of the name Blue Mountain Pottery, and a supercomputer located in New Mexico that makes use of the same name.
One of the most popular answers you would likely get if you were to ask several people this question, however, is a type of Jamaican coffee known as Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. This coffee has in recent years become one of the most popular, one of the most sought after, and one of the most expensive coffees in the world. A vast majority of all Jamaican Blue mountain Coffee is exported to Japan, where it is extremely popular because of it's lack of a bitter taste and a generally mild flavor all around. As mentioned above, there is an actual Blue Mountain in Jamaica, and the coffee grown in that region bears the name. Much like bourbon is a protected certification mark that can only refer to whiskey that is made and distilled in Kentucky, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee must be grown in the Blue Mountains region of Jamaica. While there are many marketing terms that are thrown around very loosely these days, you can be sure that if you find Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, that it will be the popular coffee that you have heard of, and the price will probably reflect that.
