Jamaica Blue Mountain, Clifton Mount Estate Peaberry

Renowned throughout the world for it's incomparable standard of quality and smooth, creamy taste profile, Jamaica Blue Mountain has rightfully earned the nickname of 'The Champagne of Coffee'. Considered one of the best coffees in the world, Jamaica Blue Mountain must meet stringent regulations and be grown under very specific conditions to meet export quality. 

The mountains are distinguished by their unique micro-climate and location which provide the ideal circumstances for growing high-quality coffee: at high-altitude on a tropical island, where near constant mist and cloud cover gives perfect shading and temperature, and the cool sea breezes provide ideal moisture levels. 

Clifton Mount is one of the oldest continually functioning coffee estate in the world and is recognized for producing the very finest quality of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee available. Owned by the Sharp family with whom Sea Island has had a very long-standing relationship, the farm and its elegant 'Great House' is located in the Newcastle region of the island and is situated on the Eastern slope of Catherine's Peak at 1300 metres above sea level - one of the highest altitudes of Blue Mountain coffee. 

A 'Peaberry' bean is a natural occurring mutation of the normal coffee cherry, whereby only a single bean is produced. These smaller, rounder beans are characterised by their sweetness and robust depth of flavour.
