What is so special about this coffee?

The coffee predominantly grown in the area is Arabica Typica, usually processed as fully-washed. The grade 1 Clydesdale coffee is made of screen sizes 17 and 18 with a 10 to 12% moisture rating.

Typica is considered a classic in coffee, offering extremely well-balanced flavors hovering around hazelnut and cocoa aromas. Very little bitterness is found in this coffee, which makes it smooth, sweet, and enjoyable for the coffee connoisseur and the everyday consumer alike.

A remarkable environment that produces exceptional coffee

Located in the heart of the Jamaican Blue Mountains, Founded by Dr. Colin McClarty in the late 1700s, the Clydesdale Estate was one of the first to plant coffee in this highland region. Other growers followed when they saw the excellence of the coffee produced in the Clydesdale area.

Today, the area is still renowned for the incomparable quality of its coffee beans in Jamaica. The Clydesdale region is of an elevation of 3500 to 4000 feet. Its microclimate, hot during the day and colder at night, paired with loam and volcanic soil, creates a distinctive and well-balanced cup of coffee.
