Jamaica Blue Mountain, Gift Barrel
Jamaica Blue Mountain is the only coffee in the world still packaged and shipped abroad in traditional wooden barrels. These exquisite gift barrels are made of Japanese cedar wood, manufactured hand-finished, and painted in Japan to the highest standard of craftmanship.Ā
Our miniature gift barrels come with our signature collection coffee – a classic Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee grown in the Parish of St. Andrew at an average altitude of 1000 metres. The balance of aroma, body and acidity with subtle fruit and floral overtones and a characteristic mellowness differentiates Jamaica Blue Mountain from other coffees and accounts for its historic renown.Ā
Renowned throughout the world for it’s incomparable standard of quality and smooth, creamy taste profile, Jamaica Blue Mountain has earned the nickname ‘The Champagne of Coffee’. Considered one of the best coffees in the world, Jamaica Blue Mountain must meet stringent regulations and be grown under very specific conditions to meet export quality.
The Jamaican Blue Mountains, A UNESCO world heritage site, are distinguished by their unique location and micro-climate, which are ideal for growing coffee of exceptional quality. Grown at high altitude on this tropical island where near constant cloud cover gives perfect shading and the cool sea breezes provide ideal moisture, Blue Mountain beans have been a firm favourite of coffee connoisseurs for centuries.
