Coffee production in Jamaica

125 Grams of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee beans certified by Jamaica Agricultural Commodities Authority.

Coffee production in Jamaica began after 1728, when governor Sir Nicholas Lawes introduced the crop near Castleton, north of Kingston.[1] Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is the special variety of coffee that is grown in the Blue Mountains region, which has the most conducive climate and topographical features; this variety is known for its scent and sweet taste.[2] Most of Jamaica's coffee production is grown for export.
