A Legacy Rooted in the Blue Mountains
The story of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee begins in 1728, when a single Arabica coffee plant was brought to Jamaica from Martinique by Governor Sir Nicholas Lawes. Planted in the cool, misty highlands of the Blue Mountains, that one tree gave rise to a tradition that would span centuries.
Nurtured by rich volcanic soil, high elevations, and consistent rainfall, Jamaican coffee quickly gained recognition for its smooth, mild flavor and exceptional quality. Today, only coffee grown in this officially designated region can carry the name Jamaica Blue Mountain — and at Island Coffee Traders, we’re proud to continue that legacy.
Only coffee grown within the legally designated Blue Mountain region of Jamaica can carry the name Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee. It is not High Mountain Coffee. It is not a Jamaican blend. It is not mixed with beans from other regions.
At Island Coffee Traders, we proudly offer 100% certified Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee — grown at high elevations, handpicked, and processed according to strict quality standards.
Renowned worldwide for its exceptional smoothness, mild acidity, and rich aroma, Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is considered a true gourmet product. Because of its rarity and premium quality, it does not trade on global commodities markets like coffee from other regions — it is sold through direct relationships and trusted channels, just like ours.
At Island Coffee Traders, every bean we offer is traceable to the lush, mist-covered slopes of the Blue Mountains, where our partner farmers have cultivated coffee for generations. We work closely with these local growers to ensure that each harvest meets the highest standards — from planting and picking to pulping and packaging.
Our coffee is processed with care, graded by hand, and exported in traditional wooden barrels or jute sacks to preserve freshness and quality.
Taste the Difference
Our 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is celebrated for its exceptional balance and refined flavor profile. Each cup offers:
A smooth, velvety body

Subtle notes of cocoa, floral undertones, and hints of toasted nuts
