The Coffee
Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is quite possibly the most famous coffee in the world. Because of the very limited supply and increasing demand, it comes as no surprise that this coffee continues to rise in scarcity and value.
The Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee region is an area of natural beauty and a UNESCO site. The climate of the Blue Mountains is ideal for coffee with the rich soil, frequent rainfall and misty conditions. Many Blue Mountain coffee farms are small by international standards and families have worked them for generations.
This coffee is only shipped in barrels of 15 – 70kg at a time and is an iconically recognised product.
Blue Mountain is a unique member of the Typica Arabica coffee species. The Blue Mountain arabica variety is grown in the Caribbean, East Africa and Indonesia.
For us, it has always been Jamaica Blue Mountain that epitomises the unique attributes of this special coffee variety.
This coffee is lightly roasted to accentuate its incredible quality. Subtly delicate with a very mild acidity which enlarges into a surprising fullness of flavour in the mouth. It has a wonderful balance of flavour, with sweet notes of caramel, apricot and a delicious creaminess.
From Honduran Highlands to Your Cup
In Marcala, Honduras, coffee is not just grown — it’s lived. What began with sixty-nine farmers determined to protect their land has grown into COMSA, a cooperative of more than 1,200 members whose work reaches from the mountainside to the classroom. Their coffee carries with it not only the flavour of the highlands, but the promise of a stronger, more hopeful community.
How Roast Level Shapes the Character of Coffee
The journey from green bean to finished coffee is shaped by countless decisions, but none more influential than roast level. This single factor determines whether a coffee is lively and bright, smooth and balanced, or bold and intense. At H.R.Higgins, we roast with purpose, tailoring each profile to bring out the finest qualities in the bean. Here’s how each roast style creates its own distinct experience in the cup.
