Origin story:
With a history reaching back to 1838 in Jamaica, today's Jamaica Blue Mountain is grown on the Wallenford Estate, within a small & strictly defined region in the Eastern Blue Mountains at 1,500-2,400 MASL - one of the highest coffee regions in the world. Coffee produced here is considered by industry experts to be the 'cream of the crop'. This micro environment with its unique & endangered species of fauna & flora has been recognised by UNESCO.
Steep mountain slopes at high altitude with fertile soil rich in iron & minerals, warm Caribbean temperatures, which don't fluctuate much seasonably, plentiful rainfall and a thick Blue Mountain mist (that envelops the hillsides each afternoon) emulates a shade grown micro climate, creating the perfect environmental conditions in which to grow this elusive bean.
Jamaica Blue Mountain producers are among the best paid producers & certainly the best paid workers in Jamaica. They receive 50% of the revenue of the crop along with medical & other support from the parent company. Furthermore, the sharing of knowledge surrounding agricultural processes, conservation tactics and other farming practices are provided to help innovate and broaden the way producers think about growing coffee.
