Jamaica Coffee Trading Co

Jamaica Coffee Trading Co, authorised importer of Jamaica Blue Mountain

Jamaica Coffee Trading Co operates as an importer and distributor of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee, an activity it carries out under authorisation from the Government of Jamaica, according to the company itself. Its green coffee arrives in the UK in barrels from Jamaica and is roasted to order, a method intended to preserve the characteristics of the bean until the moment of purchase.

The company maintains operations in Sydney and London and states that it has established itself as a leading importer of this coffee in Australia and the United Kingdom. Its roaster has received a gold medal award, according to information published by the company.

Origin of the bean and supply plantations

The coffee is presented as 100% certified Jamaica Blue Mountain and comes directly from selected plantations in Jamaica, including Mavis Bank Coffee Factory, founded in 1923 by the English planter and processor Victor C. Munn. The company places the origin of the green coffee in the Blue Mountain region, in St Andrew (Jamaica).

The selection of the bean is oriented towards the highest and purest grades of the designation, which are then roasted both in Australia and, more recently, in the United Kingdom. According to the company, its coffee is served in Australia, England and other parts of Europe.

Grades of coffee sold

The catalogue is organised around three classifications of Jamaica Blue Mountain, each with defined quality criteria:

• Blue Mountain No. 1: at least 96% of the beans must have a screen size of 17/20 and no more than 2% may have significant defects.
• Blue Mountain No. 2: at least 96% of the beans must have a screen size of 16/17 and no more than 2% may have significant defects.
• Blue Mountain Peaberry: at least 96% of the beans must be peaberry and no more than 2% may have significant defects.

Grind formats and online purchase

The online shop allows you to choose the format of the coffee before completing the order. In addition to whole beans, grinds adapted to different brewing methods are offered: cafetiere, Aeropress, espresso and filter. All available formats correspond to a medium roast.

The site includes a UPS shipping service with next-day delivery for £8.00, according to the price shown at the time of analysis. The company also applies a money-back guarantee: dissatisfied customers can return the product and obtain a full refund without questions, in accordance with the published policy.
