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!

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.

Happy Monday! Grab Your JABLUM Coffee and their NEW Low Sugar Dark Chocolate!

JABLUM Coffee has a NEW 70% Dark Chocolate made from their JABLUM GOLD that is only 8g in Sugar.

It has 16% Saturated Fat, but that is OK, you can break off a small piece when you have a craving and put it back for another time.

Check out my thoughts from their Launch here!

It’s a Happy Monday with Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee!

Yesterday was Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Day, but I don’t think most of us knew about it!

Calling on JAMPRO, our participating locations/brands to get us to #SiptheGreatest, embrace Brand Jamaica and have a productive 2022! Whether it is Coffee Roasters Jamaica (Ig:@coffeeroastersjamaica), Moy Hall Estate Coffee (Ig:@moyhallcoffee), 24 Seven Café at The Jamaica Pegasus, Ragamuffin Café, Rituals Coffee House, Stoneleigh Coffee (Ig:  @stoneleigh.coffee), Cafe Blue (Ig: @cafeblueja) or Jablum Coffee (Ig: @jablumcoffee), you name it!

We started our morning with JABLUM GOLD, then later in the afternoon after 4pm, why not have another cup?!

Most locations closed by then, but not Café Blue, Constant Spring. Thanks for my Mochaccino with Almond milk!
