There are about 200 million coffee drinkers in America and, like wine drinkers, they have firmly entrenched opinions about their favorite beverage. Should the coffee have a light or dark roast? Whole bean or ground? Drip or French press? Arabica or robusta?

Now there also are “green” issues to take into account—is it Certified Organic, Bird Friendly, Fair Trade Certified, and/or Rainforest Alliance Certified? Long gone are the days when “weak or strong?” was the only concern and staying awake was the reason for drinking it.

Nowadays everyone wants to know the origin of everything they encounter, and traveling the world in pursuit of the little red coffee berry is likely to replace winery tours as the trendy leisure pastime soon. And why not? Coffee grows best in that temperate belt around the Equator between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn—a nice place to visit.

Jamaica’s Caribbean weather ranges from 80-90 degrees to 70s at night. The mist-covered Blue Mountains have cooler temperatures that help Blue Mountain Coffee develop the flavors that make it the most revered (and expensive) coffee in the world. The mountains, which peak at 7,402 feet, have hiking trails for trekkers, campsites for birdwatchers and botanists, and roads suitable for 4-wheel drive vehicles.
