Historic Profile: Governor of Jamaica, Sir Nicholas Lawes introduced coffee to Jamaica in 1730. Since then the Jamaican coffee industry has endured many high and lows. In 1953, the Jamaican Government created the Coffee Industry Board (CIB) of Jamaica, a regulatory body established to protect the quality of Jamaican coffee.

All coffee exported from Jamaica is shipped by the CIB and is open to rigorous testing by highly trained quality control experts. They guarantee that all coffee exported is 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain and only fully licensed importers are allowed to purchase Blue Mountain coffee directly from the Jamaican farmers.

Today, many connoisseurs agree that Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is one of the world’s best. An exquisite balance of aroma, body and acidity makes Blue Mountain Coffee very special. Our coffee is sourced from an award winning estate and it is also the highest altitude plantation in the Blue Mountain region!
