More Information
In 1728, the Governor of Jamaica, Sir Nicholas Lawes introduced coffee seedlings in the parish of St. Andrew.
Coffee production was first reported at Flamstead, St. Andrew, in 1764 and quickly became the toast of the British Empire. Various British Governors have owned sections of the Flamstead property and reveled in the high quality of the coffee produced at Flamstead.
Flamstead`s natural conditions of even rainfall, excellent microclimate for coffee, and mist drenched slopes form the base for an excellent cup of coffee.
The farm stands at 3,300 feet above sea level and oftentimes is covered by the cool mists of the Blue Mountains, lying in an area traditionally associated with the production of high quality Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee.
