Odds are you have tried or heard of Jamaican coffee, specifically Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. But how much do you know about the history of coffee growing on the island? What makes Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee so popular and sought after? By the end of this episode you will know all of that and more.
Jamaica’s coffee growing history dates back to the early 1700s. The island was a leading coffee producer in the early 1800s, but then the coffee industry suffered and coffee quality decreased.
The Jamaican government launched several programs to increase coffee quality and created a very successful marketing program. These changes stimulated demand for a specific designation of Jamaican coffee, Jamaica Blue Mountain.
This episode will discuss the history of Jamaican coffee further, what makes Blue Mountain coffee unique and in demand, what Jamaican coffee tastes like, and more.
