Delicious Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee - Reserve Coffee

This delicious single-origin coffee is from the Jamaica Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains rise-up above Kingston and dominate the eastern part of Jamaica. Early morning mists and lush vegetation give the peak and the surrounding Blue Mountains, a beautiful greenish-blue hue. Blue Mountain coffees are only grown at the highest elevations where the environment is ideal for coffee trees. The coffee arrives in handmade wooden barrels and is hand roasted by John Weaver.

Bewitching and exquisite, a delicious coffee.

More Info

Rising 7,402 feet above the sea, Blue Mountain Peak is the highest spot in Jamaica and the fifth highest mountain in the Caribbean. It is in these Blue Mountains, within an area legally proscribed by the Jamaican government, that the world’s best, and best known, single-origin coffee grows. The mists and lush vegetation give the peak and the surrounding Blue Mountains, a beautiful greenish-blue hue. The Blue Mountains rise-up above Kingston and dominate the eastern part of Jamaica.

Jamaica has some of the richest and most productive soil in the Caribbean, however, not in the Blue Mountains. The soil is derived from both metamorphic and igneous rocks and is quite porous and prone to leaching, it is low in many nutrients, especially phosphorus and nitrogen. The reduced sunlight due to the cloud cover slows down the development of the coffee cherry. The long maturation has a very positive effect on the aroma and taste of the coffee produced from these trees. The coffee trees grow slowly and the production is lower than in other coffee producing areas of Jamaica and the rest of the world.

The climate in the Jamaica Blue Mountains is cooler than the rest of Jamaica. The Blue Mountains are located on the Eastern end of Jamaica, exposing them to the moisture-laden North-East Trade Winds. These hit the coast and rise up into the mountains, generating significant cloud cover and mist as they hit the cooler air of the higher elevations.

The unique Blue Mountain growing region features an ideal coffee-growing terrain and temperate climate—misty and cool with lots of rain, rich soil, and great soil drainage. This area contains some of the Caribbean’s highest coffee growing regions.
