Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee – Arguably the Best Coffee in the World
March 20, 2009 by Hanna08
Jamaica is world-famous for many things, sandy beaches, Bob Marley, reggae music as well as coffee. The high esteem for Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee among avid coffee consumers has sent its price up to between $46 and $60 a pound. What is it about this particular brew that warrants such a price tag?
True to its name, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is grown in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica, generally located between Port Maria in the north and Kingston to the south. Reaching a height of 7,500 feet, the Blue Mountains are the highest part of the Caribbean. The area is characterized by wet, cool weather and rich, dark earth with good drainage, ideal prerequisites for growing coffee. Though coffee isn’t native to Jamaica, it is the main export of the island.
Not any old brand of coffee can call itself Jamaican Blue Mountain. The Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica must certify each and every bag of coffee to ensure that only beans of the highest quality bear the prestigious trademark. The Board only certifies beans grown in particular Jamaican parishes: St. Andrew, St. Thomas, Portland and St. Mary.
The geographical region that cultivates Jamaican blue mountain coffee is relatively restricted and can only produce so much coffee. The limited quantity, the matchless quality resulting from painstaking cultivation methods, the alluring aroma and the renowned name of Jamaican Blue Mountain have no doubt contributed to its fame as one of the most desired coffees in the world – more so than columbian coffee, or French roast coffee, for example. So long as hardcore coffee drinkers continue to demand it, it will also be one of the more costly.

It is interesting the way the brain can formulate a conversation to help to bump up a memory. It raises other questions about people who claim to be able to speak to the dead, etc. Perhaps they are only speaking to their own memories.
That's it. I even remember now explaining to David who St. Thomas of Villanova was….THANKS.]]>
