Inside Island Blue: A Visit to One of Jamaica's Most Recognized Coffee Brands
Inside Island Blue: A Visit to One of Jamaica's Most Recognized Coffee Brands
There are two ways to sell coffee.
The first is to list products on a website and hope customers trust what they read.
The second is to go where the coffee story begins.
At One Happy Coffee, we believe our customers deserve more than product descriptions—they deserve to see the people, places, and brands that make Jamaican coffee so special.
That commitment brought us to Island Blue, one of Jamaica's recognized coffee brands.

More Than a Brand Name
For many coffee lovers, Island Blue is simply a name on a bag of coffee.
For us, it's part of a much larger story.
Jamaica Standard Products is the name of the company that manufactures Island Blue Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee... They have been producing the best coffee for over 80 years and the sign proudly displays in the lobby...

Behind every bag are people dedicated to maintaining the reputation of Jamaican coffee. While customers often see only the finished product, visits like these help us better understand the businesses that contribute to bringing authentic Jamaican coffee to the world.
Every visit deepens our appreciation for the craftsmanship and care involved.
