Jamaican Blue Mountain ~ Mavisbank Estate

Coffee was first introduced to Jamaica from the island of Hispaniola in 1728, but it wasn't until the abolition of slavery on the British territory in 1838 when former slaves in the Blue Mountains at the eastern end of the island began its cultivation. At elevations of around 5,000 feet the terrain, soil, rainfall and the thick Blue Mountain mist combine to create the perfect conditions for the cultivation of this famous coffee.

Distinctive, smooth, medium- bodied with light acidity, Blue Mountain is all about subtlety of flavour and this offering from Mavisbank doesn’t disappoint. A floral-sweet character dominates this most famous of island coffees.
