Marley Coffee to Launch 'Smile Jamaica,' First Authorized Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Blend in North America
October 02 2013 - 8:47AM
Marley Coffee (OTCQB:JAMN), (www.marleycoffee.com), the sustainably
grown, ethically farmed and artisan-roasted gourmet coffee company,
will launch "Smile Jamaica," a blend of 20 percent Jamaican Blue
Mountain (JBM) coffee and 80 percent Rainforest Alliance Certified
coffee, the first authorized JBM blend in North America. The blend
will be available in Marley Coffee RealCups™ form and 8 oz Marley
Coffee bags.
Certification to create and sell the "Smile Jamaica" blend was
provided by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica as a result of the
Company's successful U.S. launch of Marley Coffee's JBM, one of the
largest-ever launches of pure, certified JBM in North America.
Marley Coffee distributed approximately 30.5 tons or about 61,000
lbs of JBM coffee within the last year, with sales anchored by
distribution into key retailers like Safeway.
"Marley Coffee has fulfilled one of the largest retail JBM
coffee orders in North America," says Jason Sharp, owner of Coffee
Traders Ltd., one of the most notable exporters of JBM coffee in
the world. "This is a very exciting time for Jamaican Blue Mountain
coffee as one of our country's key exports will be available in so
many North American homes. We expect Marley Coffee to continue
building and growing their business for years to come."
Christopher Gentles, Outgoing Director General of the Coffee
Industry Board of Jamaica, said, "Marley Coffee's significant
accomplishment in placing its coffees onto North American
supermarket shelves, I believe, justifies the Board's decision to
grant this certification to the company. Marley Coffee is well
qualified to create the first Jamaican Blue Mountain blend for
consumers."
Rohan Marley, Founder and Chairman of Marley Coffee, said, "My
father's music and Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee are two of the
many things Jamaica is famous for. Both have transformed the world
in their own way. We are happy to offer our blend to North America
as a mainstream affordable luxury. This will allow U.S. consumers
to enjoy its unique taste, and what was once among the most
sought-after and rarest coffees in the world will now be available
to American coffee lovers. We anticipate that this will be another
catalyst to increasing Marley Coffee sales."
