Ecuador is one of the few countries in the world that grows and exports both varieties of coffee: Arabica and Robusta. Furthermore, the careful cultivation and processing techniques used by Ecuadorian farmers play a critical role in the production of high-quality coffee. Speciality coffee from Ecuador has obtained scores above 90 points on the SCA scale at prestigious international cupping events.

JAMAICA: The Blue Mountain Coffee
High Commissioner Jason K. M. Hall
The Jamaican Blue Mountain Range is a majestic backdrop to Kingston and Port Antonio, soaring up to one of the highest peaks, but only coffee grown between 3,000 and 5,000 ft can be designated Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. The misty mountains with over 200 species of flora and fauna found only in Jamaica are, together with the John Crow Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is known for its mild, smooth, and well-balanced flavour profile that verges on being creamy, with subtle floral, and nutty notes that takes up to five years to mature and that are typically hand-picked, carefully sorted to ensure only the ripest and highest-quality beans are used.
This coffee is not grown in large quantities; 0.1% of the world’s total coffee production has earned a reputation for quality worldwide. It has won numerous awards and accolades, further cementing its status as a premium coffee variety. Blue Mountain coffee’s unique characteristics make it versatile for various brewing methods, including pour-over, French press, espresso, and more. This versatility allows people to experiment and find their preferred brewing style.
