Jamaica Blue Mountain®

Nurtured in the Blue Mountain mist of Jamaica

Since the coffee plant was introduced to Jamaica in 1728, near-perfect growing conditions in the Blue Mountains that cover the eastern part of Jamaica – altitude, terrain, soil, rainfall, and mountain mist – have combined to produce one of the world’s finest coffees: Jamaica Blue Mountain®. Grown under strict regulations, only the best beans are certified authentic and earn the Jamaica Blue Mountain® name. For certification, it must be supervised at every stage of growth and production and cupped by certified tasters at the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica to ensure its quality. 
This delightful, balanced coffee has mild citrus notes and a smooth milk chocolate finish, with an intense aroma. Exported in small batches in iconic wooden barrels (a custom dating back to the 18th century), Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee is not to be missed!

Why Jamaica Blue Mountain

Jamaica’s Mountains

Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee (JBM) is one of the world’s most distinguished and delicious coffees. It is premium priced because of its rare availability and excellent flavor.

 Jamaica’s mountains run from east to west across the island. The highest of these are the Blue Mountains, generally situated between Kingston in the south and Port Maria to the north. This lush green landscape is perfectly suited for coffee bean cultivation. The climate is cool and misty, but not too cold. There is high rainfall, excellent drainage, rich soil, and an altitude that reaches 7,402 feet.

JBM is grown within a ten-mile radius of this summit. Beans grown outside of this small region are labelled Jamaican High Mountain, although JBM is actually grown at higher altitudes than most other island coffees.
The delicate balance of climate, soil and altitude produces a sweet and mild taste, lacking in bitterness, with a distinct floral aroma.
