At the eastern end of the island of Jamaica is a majestic range of mountains known as the Blue Mountains and only coffee grown in this precise geographic region is certified "100% Jamaica Blue Mountain."

Over the last several decades, the Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee has developed a reputation that has made it one of the most expensive and sought after coffees in the world.

The Blue Mountains area spans four of Jamaica’s parishes, St. Andrew to south, Portland to the north, St. Mary to the west and St. Thomas to the east. Arising 2,300 metres (7,500ft) they are some of the highest mountains in the Caribbean. The climate of the region is cool, misty with high rainfall and generous cloud cover. The soil is rich, with excellent drainage.

Wallenford Coffee Company has historically been the largest cultivator of Jamaica Blue Mountain® and Jamaica High Mountain Coffee in the island. The company controls approximately 5,000 acres of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee land and their operations span two parishes within the Blue Mountains.

Wallenford prides itself on its farming and production practices which are driven by their mantra of “doing well and doing good.” They work closely with farmers and provide support to their farms, and the surrounding communities. They also adopt schools in the Coffee growing areas and have provided everything from new kitchens, to internet, to computers and tablets.

The result has been constant improvement in the quality and taste of the coffee that they produce and a strong relationship between Wallenford and the coffee communities of Jamaica.
