Notably, Jamaica is one of the world's top coffee exporters, and the quality of the Coffee grown here in the mountains is unmatched.

The Caribbean's only coffee festival was conceptualised in 2018 in Jamaica as a major initiative of the Gastronomy Network of the Tourism Linkages Network which is a division of the TEF - Tourism Enhancement Fund. With support from private and public sector partners, the festival became a highly anticipated event on the local calendar.
