Renowned as one of the world’s rarest and most celebrated coffees, Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is cultivated high in the mist covered peaks of eastern Jamaica. This exceptional Grade 1 lot comes from the historic Clydesdale Estate, one of the very first estates to plant coffee in the Blue Mountains in the late 1700s. For centuries, this remarkable region has been admired for producing coffee of incomparable quality.
Grown at elevations of 3500 to 4000 feet, the estate benefits from a unique microclimate that is warm during the day and cooler at night. Combined with rich loam and volcanic soil, along with surrounding vegetation of palm, plantain, guava, and banana trees, the result is a beautifully balanced and refined cup.
The coffee predominantly grown here is Arabica Typica, a true classic in the world of speciality coffee. Carefully fully washed to preserve clarity and character, this Grade 1 Clydesdale selection features large screen size 17 and 18 beans with an ideal moisture content of 10 to 12 percent. Every detail reflects meticulous care and uncompromising quality. It has an SCA score of 86.00.
In the cup, Typica offers an elegant and harmonious flavour profile centred around gentle hazelnut and cocoa notes. Bitterness is remarkably low, allowing a smooth, naturally sweet character to shine through. The acidity sits at low to medium, giving structure without overpowering the palate. With a cup score of 86, classed as Excellent, this coffee delivers both sophistication for the connoisseur and effortless enjoyment for everyday drinking.
Today, coffee from the Clydesdale region is cultivated by dedicated independent small holding farmers who collectively process their beans under the Clydesdale name. The coffee is prepared at the Blue Mountain Coffee Factory in Kingston to ensure maximum quality before being supplied to authorised Jamaica Blue Mountain distributors worldwide.
