The Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica
In 1953, the Jamaican Government created the Coffee Industry Board (CIB) of Jamaica, a regulatory body established to protect the quality of Jamaican coffee.
Jamaica was the first country in the world to establish a defined geographical location designated to a specific coffee brand, similar to that constructed by the French wine industry with the creation of the AOC (Appellation d’Origine Controlleè).
All Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee exported from Jamaica is shipped by the CIB and bears the CIB trademark seal in its packaging. Rigorous testing by highly trained quality control experts from the CIB guarantees that all coffee exported is 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain and conforms to the very strict quality parameters defined by the CIB.
The CIB trademark seal is your guarantee of quality!
