It is consistently the highest priced coffee in the world. A typical Jamaican farmer will pick their own &#8220;cherry-berry&#8221; and drop them off to these estates for processing and to get paid. For the 15-20 years that we have been buying Jamaican coffee, we have not been able to work or communicate with the producers or farmers. In 2014, Cafe Imports President, Andrew Miller met a young Jamaican coffee farmer who is a member of the Jamaican Coffee Farmers Association, a group of about 250 small producers in Jamaica that are trying to band together, process their own coffee, and bypass the big estates&#8217; processing services. Since meeting and visting their farms in Jamaica, Cafe Imports has pre-financed Arthur and the Jamaican Coffee Farmers Associaton so that they can produce their own coffee.<\/p>\n<p>We are very excited to be working with the JCFA, and we cannot wait to see where our relationship might take us.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.62;\">Visit the Beanology <\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.62;\" href=\"dev.cafeimports.com\/beanology\/view\/jamaican-coffee-farmers-association-2955\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch the video above for a full run-down of a program we&#8217;ve initiated with a young band of Jamaican coffee farmers called the &#8220;Jamaican Coffee Farmers Association&#8221; Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is mainly produced by the Wallenford, Mavis Bank, Moy Hall, and Old Tavern Estates.
