We invite you to explore Jamaica through the lens of provenance, craft, and terroir, from world-renowned exports to under-the-radar artisanal movements, offering strong angles across food, drink, travel, and wellness.
BLUE MOUNTAIN COFFEE: THE FULL STORY, AT THE SOURCE
The beauty of Jamaica
Craighton Estate is one of the Blue Mountains’ premier coffee producers, growing beans prized worldwide for their smooth, low-acid, subtly sweet profile — a result of high altitude, cool climate, and mineral-rich soil. Guided hiking trails offer panoramic views alongside a full deep-dive into the growing and production process. A strong angle for luxury travel features and food-provenance journalism.
THE RUM THAT CONNOISSEURS SEEK OUT
Traditional rum in the surrounds of beautiful Jamaica
Worthy Park Rum Estate, en route to Ocho Rios, is producing some of the Caribbean’s most talked-about rum using a wild yeast fermentation process cultivated for up to three months in oak vats. The result is a distinctively funky, high-ester profile that serious collectors seek out. An ideal item for spirits features, drinks trade press, or ‘world’s most interesting distilleries’ roundups.
BEAN-TO-BAR: JAMAICA’S ARTISANAL CHOCOLATE SCENE
Pure Chocolate Jamaica in Ocho Rios offers hands-on tasting and bar-making sessions that showcase the island’s growing artisanal cocoa industry—a story that sits well alongside Jamaica’s better-known coffee and rum exports.
WHERE FOOD MEETS WELLNESS: STUSH IN THE BUSH
Stush in the Bush has pioneered a genuinely original concept — the ‘Farm-to-Skin’ movement — where the same botanicals used in their plant-based gourmet meals (turmeric, coconut, aloe) are also integrated into holistic skincare and wellness products.
SUN VALLEY PLANTATION: BIODIVERSITY ON A PLATE
This working 30-acre estate near Ocho Rios offers a masterclass in Jamaican biodiversity. Guests walk the groves, learn how everything from breadfruit to exotic spices is cultivated, and taste it all fresh-picked. A vivid farm-to-table experience with genuine educational depth.
DEVON HOUSE I-SCREAM: A KINGSTON INSTITUTION
No craft food tour of Jamaica is complete without Devon House, the historic mansion of George Stiebel, Jamaica’s first Black millionaire. Known for its legendary ice cream, available in flavours like Soursop, Stout, Grape Nut, June Plum, and Blue Mountain Coffee. A great kicker item for any Kingston guide or Caribbean food roundup.
