FIRST STOP FROM THE AIRPORT IF THERE IS TIME:
GLORIA’S Restaurant by Port Royal

TO THE HILLS, JAMAICA BLUE MOUNTAINS (~45 – 60 mins from Papine):
All quite Scenic

Everyone goes to Cafe Blue. You can still go there, but to be different, check out MIDDLETON CAFE!

Fun Memories and Experience at Jamaica Coffee Festival Rain or Shine! Perfect outing for my friend Jody who was doing a quick visit to her JA from DC.

What’s in Your Cup this Morning?

We sipped both Hot and Cold Mountain Pride in edible, Vegan Cupffee Jamaica Cups,
Sampled lactose-free Smith’s Rum Creams,
had a big boost with Cold Coffee our way from Cafe Blue by the winning Barista that day, Romell!
Then we warmed up the richest, best and most authentic way, having our JBMCoffee Black by PerkUp Coffee and JABLUM Coffee!

Big up to all the other Coffee Makers on the Day too! #sipthegreatness

TGIF to Feeling on Top of the World! Are you going to Jamaica Coffee Fest Tomorrow?

Craighton Estate, Irish Town, Jamaica

Word has it that the JDF forces should be assisting to make it a smooth experience getting up and down the Hills tomorrow with more buses and larger buses than last year… plus an experience at the pick up point, UTECH too.

So whether you have been or not, Suga advises that if you go, go Early and Enjoy the Best Coffee, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
