Hurricane Melissa wreaked havoc on Jamaica on November 4. This shipment of Jamaica Blue Mountain left the island just weeks before the storm. Trouble Hill Farm, owned and farmed by the same family for three generations, is located in Claverty Cottage, Portland Gap, at 4500 feet above sea level. Claverty Cottage is a small settlement located about 5 miles (8 km) from Blue Mountain Peak in the parish of Portland, Jamaica. This settlement has a sparse population of approximately 600 inhabitants.
This is a very nice example of JBM. While the coffee made it out of Jamaica before the storm, it arrived in the US before tariffs on coffee were suspended, making the price a bit higher. But the quality is solid.
Some Serious Select coffees derive from international coffee competitions which seek to rank the best coffee in a particular country in a given year, some are from private auctions - like the world renowned Hacienda Esmeralda from Panama - and still others are the product of experimentation by growers pushing the quality envelope.
Willoughby's participates in many events, sometimes as jurors, always with interest.
These highly sought after and often more expensive coffees are what Serious Select is all about.
