Promising a unique blend of flavours, entertainment, and a celebration of Jamaica’s rich coffee heritage, the Blue Mountain Coffee Festival takes place on 2nd March 2024. The festival will once again showcase the finest Blue Mountain Coffee and the vibrant culture that surrounds it.
With its breathtaking scenery and ideal climate, the Blue Mountains of Jamaica produce one of the most sought-after and distinctive coffees globally, and the Blue Mountain Coffee Festival is the ultimate celebration of this unique brew. From the sprawling coffee estates to the hands of the skilled local farmers, the festival offers an immersive experience into the journey of Blue Mountain Coffee, celebrating the artistry, craftsmanship, and dedication that goes into every cup.
Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee’s velvety texture and well-balanced flavour profile unveil hints of chocolate, delicate florals, and a lingering subtle sweetness.
Located within the Blue and John Crow Mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Blue Mountain enjoys a micro-climate of cooler temperatures and reliable afternoon rains – ideal for the cultivation of red coffee blossoms. As the largest mountain range in Jamaica, it provides the optimum elevation, ranging between 3,000 to 5,500 feet.
