The summer is predicted to be hotter than ever before but that shouldn’t coffee lovers from cooling down!

Although known as a luxury commodity, Coffee Roasters of Jamaica has a coffee that can replace the more popular instant coffees on the market. At a reasonable $US28 for 16 ounces, Coffee Roasters of Jamaica’s authentic coffee is reasonably priced and still has the robust taste Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is known for.

This intense flavour is indicative of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and is so sought after by coffee aficionados because it isn’t like any other gourmet coffee in the world. It takes very specific, very precise growing conditions to produce Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee—which is unique to that part of the world.

Unusual volcanic soil, cool conditions, and the comparatively long ten-month period from bloom to harvest. It’s fundamentally impossible to replicate the kinds of growing conditions where the coffee thrives, meaning that while some may try to imitate its properties, there’s nothing quite like the real deal. 

However, for Coffee Roasters of Jamaica, which buys only from select local small farmers, the coffee beans are handpicked and have a meticulous roasting process that transforms their green coffee beans and brings out that outstanding well-bodied taste.

Coffee Roasters of Jamaica brand from Country Traders, is known for its distinct flavour, one that is described as subtle and multi-layered with hints of honey, florals, and chocolate. Coffee Roasters of Jamaica— well known for their quality, rank high as one of the best Jamaican Blue Mountain coffees on the market.

About Coffee Roasters of Jamaica

In 1991, Country Traders Limited launched its family-run business, owned by Mark Fletcher who wanted to bring his unique blend of coffee to the market. In 2006, he was certified as a cupper so he could understand how to learn the subtle differences between the many components that give each cup of coffee its own distinct and signature flavor.

Today, he manages a team of twenty skilled workers. He is one of the original few coffee roasters on the island licensed by Jamaica Agricultural Commodities Regulatory Authority (JACRA)—the government agency that meticulously maintains control over the quality of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.

Country Traders’ primary business over the last 27 years has been primarily, the roasting and distribution of Jamaica Blue Mountain and other Jamaican coffee in both the local and export markets under the ‘Coffee Roasters of Jamaica’ brand.

As principal, Mark Fletcher tells the story, “We traditionally bought green beans from other processors but decided to begin purchasing coffee directly from small and medium-size farmers in 2013. We made this move to improve the consistency of supply and quality of raw material for our roasting business and to become exporters of Jamaica Blue Mountain green beans.” he says.

Today, Country Traders is a well-established buyer in the Jamaica Blue Mountains and has acquired a farm in the Silver Hill area, which is in the heart of the Jamaican range. 

They continue to buy only the best quality gourmet coffee from small farmers throughout the Blue Mountains and export green beans to the international markets—such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China.
