Norma Benghiat
Jamaica’s Blue Mountain® coffee is known the world over as one of the most distinguished and delicious coffees. Brimming with a robust aroma and delicate flavour, this coffee is a globally protected certification mark, so that only coffee certified by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica can be labelled Jamaica Blue Mountain®. Named for the region in which it is grown, coffee from Jamaica’s Blue Mountain range, rising to over 7,000 feet above sea level, is the result of the perfect combination of terrain, altitude soil and rainfall. In <The World’s Finest: Jamaica’s Blue Mountain® Coffee, Norma Benghiat traces the early history of coffee and its journey to the Caribbean. This beautifully illustrated book has a wealth of information on coffee growing and harvesting, including traditional and modern roasting and brewing techniques. The book also features the old plantation houses, unique to Jamaica’s coffee production. With over 90 recipes for hot and cold coffee drinks, desserts, sweets, sauces and even main courses, coffee lovers will appreciate why this book is much more than a coffee table book.
For those of you who are new to the one of the world’s finest coffee, the book is an informative guide, and for those who have already fallen in love with one of Jamaica’s premium products, the book will make a superb coffee table book that no coffee lover’s home should be without.
