When you think of Jamaica, music and dance probably come to mind. Reggae is the most well known of music styles, and Bob Marley was probably the best-known reggae musician until his death in 1981. You probably think of the famous dances of Jamaica, too. The “jonkonnu,” “bruckins,” and “ska” are all dances that you are very likely to think about when you think about Jamaica. Maybe you should also think about coffee. Yes, coffee!
On the eastern end of the island of Jamaica there is a range of hills that are called the Blue Mountains. (They really don’t qualify as mountains, but that is the name that is used.) The Blue Mountains are about 5,500 feet above sea level. There are thick woods, and the land is a forest preserve. Just below the hilltops, there is land that is absolutely, perfectly suited for growing the world’s most delicious coffee. There is a perfect rainfall pattern and a prevailing mist that supplies constant moisture to the delicate coffee bean plants.
Jamaican Blue coffee is not going to be found on the shelves of your local grocery store of chain discount store. You can find Jamaican Blue coffee or roasted Jamaican Blue coffee beans in specialized coffee shops, or you can order them over the Internet. But you had best be prepared for a little sticker shock. Jamaican blue coffee isn’t cheap, but then it IS one of the world’s best tasting coffees, so you have to expect to pay a premium price for it.
Jamaican blue coffee is going to cost you nearly $30 for one pound of ground coffee. Yes, thirty dollars for ONE pound. You can buy one pound of roasted whole beans for about the same price.
