Jamaica Blue Mountain
Three generations of one family, from the misted slopes of Portland, St. Thomas and St. Andrew to your door.
Coffee that grows slowly, on purpose.
Shirley Estate begins where the clouds settle: in the cool, misted slopes of Jamaica's Blue Mountains, where coffee cherries ripen slowly over long seasons instead of being rushed to harvest.
We distribute only certified beans grown within the protected Blue Mountain region, sourced through our family's own supply chain and hand-graded before every shipment leaves Jamaica.
A unique microclimate, cultivated for density and sweetness.
High-altitude cultivation across the Blue Mountain slopes of Portland, St. Thomas and St. Andrew parishes.
The signature cloud cover provides natural shading and regulates temperature.
Ideal moisture levels slow the maturation process for a denser, sweeter bean.
Where the clouds live.
A narrow belt of peaks in Jamaica's east. Cool, misted, and slow. The only place our coffee grows.
Five estates,
one mountain.
Washed. Sun-dried. Rested.
The classic Blue Mountain method. Slow by design, done by hand.
Picked ripe
Only the red cherries, taken by hand, pass by pass, through the season.
Washed
Pulped within hours, fermented, then washed clean in cool mountain water.
Sun-dried
Turned by hand on open patios until the parchment is exactly right.
Rested & graded
Aged in parchment, then hulled, hand-sorted and graded before it leaves Jamaica.
One family. Three houses.
Grown, processed and roasted by the same family, end to end. No brokers between the mountain and your door.
