Milk River Bath

This coffee is grown on the Blue Mountains of Jamaica which peak at 7,403ft. The climatic conditions along with the natural organic materials which exist there are just perfect.

The coffee bean is actually a berry that grows on shrub. These shrubs thrive best in tropics which have temperate temperatures. However, although the shrubs do well in these conditions the ideal temperatures are between 60 to 80 degrees. Lower temperatures will cause damages to the foliage and the trunks of the plants, while higher temperature slows the growth.

Jamaica, Colombia, Costa Rica, Java, Guatemala, Kenya, Peru and Sumatra are some of the best known coffee producing countries. While almost all coffee from these countries are of good quality, different conditions and growing methods can alter the taste one way or another.

At this altitude the average temperature is about 65 degrees which makes it ideal for the growing of the coffee. The rainfall is right in balance and the drainage is not a problem because they are grown on slopes.

These berries are unique in certain ways. The beans inside are benefited from the outer part of the fruits. Like other fruits, the slower they arrive to maturity is the better the taste. In this case these berries do better when grown in a climate that has a big swing between day and night temperatures. This slows down the maturing process, which resulting in beans that lack bitterness while contributing to its sweet aroma.
