Our Vision:
Promoting Caribbean Products - Helping Caribbean People
Caribbean Mountain Coffee connects people to the Caribbean through our premium Organic coffee, which is ethically sourced and sustainable. We want to 'Wake up the World" (with consciousness more than caffeine) and tell people the story of the coffee farmers/ workers and the great disparity between the life conditions of the growers and those who consume the coffee they grow.
Caribbean Mountain Coffee is passionate about making a difference in the lives of the families who grow and harvest the coffee.
Coffee is a huge industry
Coffee is a $100 billion per year industry. 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed daily, mostly in industrialized countries......
25 Million Coffee Farmers
.....while the farmers and coffee workers are often underpaid, live in poverty and even lack basic necessities such as an adequate supply of clean water.

...Helping Caribbean People
We are especially passionate about helping the farmers, workers and people in the coffee growing communties.
What makes Good Coffee?
A Good Bean
High quality coffee begins with selecting the right plantation. In the coffee world, Arabica is the bean of choice. It grows abundantly in the tropical conditions of the Caribbean, with the highest quality beans coming from the highest altitudes. Caribbean Mountain Coffee, 100% Arabica, is grown within the highest mountain range of the Caribbean, Hispaniola’s Cordillera Central.
Organic
Organic farming methods maintain and replenish soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers. Our coffees are Certified Organic by USDA.
Sustainable
Sustainable coffee is produced on a farm with biological diversity. It conserves resources, protects the environment, produces efficiently, competes commercially, and enhances the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.
Shade Grown / Bird Friendly
Coffee plants are grown around existing trees with no deforestation. This is good for the environment, watershed, and especially the birds, indigenous and migratory, who depend on the habitat for survival.
Fair Trade
When you drink coffee produced by small scale farmers or associations, you are not only choosing a high quality coffee grown with care and attention, you are also helping to improve the living conditions of the workers and their families. Our coffee is purchased at above fair trade prices through direct trade. Establishing a relationship with farmers is a win/win situation. Farmers provide higher quality beans and receive higher pay than selling on the market. They consider us a special and appreciative customer. They take care to see that they provide the best quality coffee.
The Roast
The art of roasting is responsible for realizing the full potential and maximum flavor of the high quality beans. Too little roasting fails to develop a full flavor, but over roasting results in a smoky, oily taste, where little of the inherent taste remains. Caribbean Mountain Coffee achieves the perfect balance for our special beans. The roasting process is overseen by an artisan roaster who determines by sight, smell and sound when the beans have reached their peak flavor.
