JAMAICAN COFFEE

Jamaican Coffee, especially Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, is one of the rarest and finest coffees in the world. Jamaican Coffee is produced in the Jamaican Blue Mountains. The mild temperature, strong rainfall and fertile soil in the Blue Mountains establish perfect conditions for coffee production.

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is usually grown between 3,000 ft and 5,000 ft, with lesser quality varieties grown below 3,000 ft.

Coffee was first brought to Jamaica in the early 1700's. Once it was discovered that the coffee planted in Jamaica was of high quality, the coffee plantations grew rapidly, and by 1800 over 600 Jamaican coffee plantations were in operation.

A high-quality cup of Jamaican Coffee is moderate and smooth in acidity, with almost no bitterness and full-bodied, tropical berry-like taste. This berry flavor is not that subtle, but even a coffee lover with an untrained palate will know the excellent nature of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
