Jamaican Gold - Blue Mountain Coffee
According to the Jamaica Gleaner, that august periodical and Mr Steven Jackson, Business Reporter "Coffee retail chain Starbucks said its summer campaign for Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee (JBM) attracted sophisticated coffee lovers into its stores"
Now, some of you may remember from earlier postings on this Blog, I wrote about Blue Mountain Coffee (There was a photo of yours truly wearing a snazzy Jamaica T-Shirt and holding up a bag of Blue Mountain coffee, both sent to me by Lisa, the CEO of Jamaican Treasures, the best villas rentals company in the world, so were told.)
The nice folks at Starbucks are shy about revealing themselves but we are told by a Coffee Industry Regulator that "the coffee has been sold off!" which to the likes of you and I must mean that the breatheren have drunk it all. Mr "J" goes on to tell us that Mr Starbuck bought 110 barrels of Jamaica Blue Mountain (referred to as JBM..not to be confused with Sangster Airport Montego Bay which is (JMB) and you can't drink it.) this is 60% more than last year.
The report is good news for JBM, a product in global decline, because Starbucks are going to increase sales from 50 coffee shops to 500 coffee shops across the Starbucks chain, they say that Starbucks was proud to offer Reserve Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee at select Starbucks stores in the US.
This is an excellent report by Steven Jackson and a must for lovers of JBM coffee. Take a look at the full story for yourself Here.
So, next time you visit Jamaica and you are relaxing in your villa (provided by Jamaican Treasures no doubt!) have yourself a nice cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and R-E-L-A-X!
