So I’m currently in JamDown spending some money on trinkets, water jellies and roadside food. HL, just so that you know, the proper way to eat and East Indian mango is to make sure the seed is white before you throw it away. So I was at Frenchman’s Cove Beach in Portie where I met an Indian couple from North Carolina. They were there with their three children. They were spending ten days in the island. They landed in Mobay, stayed in Negril before moving to Portland on their way to Kingston where they’ll leave out. They wanted to experience the authenticity of the island away from the touristsy spots. In summarizing, the wife kept asking me where she could get some Blue Mountain coffee to buy as she was in love with the taste. I told her about the tour to the Blue Mountain coffee factory which she would have been interested to go if she didn’t have her teenage kids with her. We’re barely tapping into tourism here.
On another note, construction is off the chains.
Jamaica’s Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett has announced plans to harness the potential of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee to stimulate economic growth and benefit local communities through the creation of a unique, experiential tourism product. Bartlett’s vision for this includes the creation of a coffee innovation town in St Andrew or Portland, which would serve as a hub for showcasing the diverse attributes of this world-famous product.
Bartlett made this announcement on Saturday during the 6th annual Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Festival, highlighting the importance of coffee to the Jamaican economy and the country’s cultural identity.
