Jamaica Blue Mountain® Coffee - Ms Tita
Inspired by pillar of the community, Ms Tita is the distinct, luxury and hearty coffee brand, born in the Jamaica Blue Mountain region. Ms Tita is the heart and soul of the brand. Over the years, Ms Tita had worked throughout the mountains to grow and harvest coffee and delivered with passion and pride – this is where she gained a wealth of knowledge in coffee agriculture. This community spirit lived on past her days of coffee farming where her Grandson, Dave Daniels, took over the reins to continue her legacy, thus the Ms Tita brand was born. Dave had a keen interest in the harvesting process, where he had spent most of his youth watching and studying his Grandmothers works of art. Unlike other Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee brands, Ms Tita is a co-operative formed of 27 smallholder farmers who live and breathe the mountain. We do not source from the farmers, we are the farmers. Keeping the community spirit at the heart is a mantra we live by, meaning every bag and bean of coffee sold benefits our local farmers directly there is no supply chain, we are the supply. This in turn enables our smallholder farmers to maintain their high quality and standards for harvesting as there are no added people or processes to obstruct the quality. To ensure our smallholder farmers have continuous support throughout their harvest journey, we have partnered with unique organisations to educate and upskill our farmers on environmental issues such as:
· Wildlife preservation
· Growing techniques
· Reduction of chemical use
· Organic cultivation
We are proud to have our coffee certified and shipped by JACRA (Jamaican Agricultural Commodity Regulatory Authority).
