A Guide to Purchasing Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is of the type Arabica which is grown all over the world. Nevertheless, in Jamaica, the climatic conditions and nitrogen rich soil takes this bean to its full potential producing a coffee coveted by connoisseurs around the world. Naturally a product bearing the Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee brand would definitely be more expensive than your average run of the mill coffee sold at various retail stores. You will not find this product at your local A&P, Wal-Mart, or Target stores. Your best bet for great deals on this product is online. I am typically not a big fan of online food purchase, but with the various deals you can find online, this is one item you cannot pass up.

In my search for Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee I actually learned a lot as you will quickly realize that there are many different products and merchants out there claiming to be selling the real deal.

FACT:
1. Jamaica Blue Mountain is intellectual property of the Jamaican Government not to be misrepresented in any way.
2. 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee implies 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, no blends, no substitutions.
3. Buying from a supplier who orders directly from Jamaica when you place your order ensures you that you are getting fresh product and not coffee that has been on the shelf for 6 months.
4. You have the right to request a certificate of authenticity/inspection from your supplier. Many sellers offer this paperwork while others may not.
5. All coffee leaving Jamaica must be inspected before shipment. This is the job of the Coffee Industry Board (CIB) - An arm of the Jamaican government whose job it is to regulate the coffee industry in Jamaica. Certificates of Authenticity are issued by the CIB.
