Rio Blue Mountain Coffee Beans Blend (1kg) | Artisan Roast

Rio Blue Mountain Coffee Beans Blend — 1kg | Artisan Roast

Part of Rio's artisan range, this exceptional blend unites two of the world's most prized coffee origins — Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kenyan AAA Arabica — roasted in small batches with a genuine passion for excellence. Not industrial production. Not commodity coffee. This is speciality coffee crafted the way it should be.

The Taste

The first sip is unmistakable: a wonderfully clean, bright opening with delicate chocolate and nutty cereal notes, a silky full body, and a long, sweet floral finish. No bitterness. No harshness. Just the refined, complex character that defines true Blue Mountain coffee. The Kenyan Arabica adds a subtle citrus brightness that elevates every cup from great to exceptional. Smooth enough to drink all day. Special enough to impress.

Flavour notes: Chocolate, nutty cereal, floral, sweet citrus finish. Light/medium roast. Mild strength. Approx. 140–150 cups per kg.

The Origins

Jamaica — Blue Mountains: Grown at high elevation in the misty Blue Mountains of Jamaica, these beans come from small, family-owned plantations that reject chemical inputs entirely. Instead, they rely on the region's mineral-rich volcanic soils, clean mountain rainfall, and natural sunshine to produce beans of extraordinary purity and smoothness. This is why Jamaican Blue Mountain is one of the rarest and most sought-after coffees on earth.

Kenya — Highland Growing Regions: Kenya's high-altitude Arabica is cultivated in elevated plantation regions where volcanic soils, equatorial sunshine, and cool nights create ideal growing conditions. Small-scale farmers tend these crops with care, producing AAA-grade beans with vibrant brightness and fruity complexity — the perfect complement to the Blue Mountain base.

Together, this is a uniquely exquisite blend: two origins, two terroirs, one extraordinary cup.
