Jamaica's blue mountain is one of the coffee world’s best known origins. but not all coffee associated with this moniker is the same many offerings in fact, being mere blends. our pick, however, is worthy of the title: 100% jamaican, grown on an estate that dates back to the 1800's, processed by hand in a plant of the same era. peet's jamaica blue mountain is subtly complex, sweet, smooth and perfectly balanced - worthy of its renowned origin. there are stringent regulations around what coffee can be called "jamaica blue mountain". it must be grown in a particular region of the blue mountains, at a certain altitude, and certified by the coffee industry board of jamaica. it's a very small district, with but a few estates left producing the old-style quality and mild, aromatic flavor which made the origin so famous. we buy from a single estate in the blue mountain range - the only one we believe produces coffee of the beguiling quality that first established this origin’s reputation.
