Rohan Marley, son of reggae superstar Bob Marley, got into the coffee business more than 10 years ago. Since then Rohan has overcome financial and bureaucratic hurdles to acquire the estate, produce 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and start marketing it.
Marley Blue Mountain is a fairly light roast, floral, chocolatey and earthy coffee with bright acidity. A 12 oz. package of Talkin' Blues Jamaica Blue Mountain Whole Bean Coffee costs $39.95 at marleycoffee.com. There are other types of coffee available, such as the One Love Whole Bean Organic Coffee, starting at $15.95 for a 12 oz. package. A portion of the proceeds from sales benefits Kicks for a Cause, which supports youth soccer.
