Yes, going to Jamaica is my number 1 priority, but definitely, it's amazing living on the boat.
Tea is the preferred and more popular beverage in the mornings in Jamaica. That's a remnant of the British I think.
The last time when we were visiting and my husband told my mum that he loves coffee, she was so pleased with herself and presented him with a jar of Instant Coffee when he arrived. 🤣
We had to go and purchase a basic old-fashioned coffee maker with filters. Ground coffee is actually expensive, so we get the High Mountain coffee instead of the one labeled Blue Mountain Coffee.
This time I'll take a Moka pot, and my mum already mentioned that the coffee maker we purchased last time should be somewhere in the house 🤣
We're hoping that we'll get the chance to visit Blue Mountain Peak, which would be fantastic!
I haven't been back in ages, so things could have changed.
When I left Jamaica in 2007, I gave up my dream of opening a coffee shop in Montego Bay, and chose to go studying and traveling instead.
... From what I heard the coffee culture was catching on in Kingston and other tourist towns... but in homes, I was never exposed to traditional way of making coffee or anything similar to what the Venezuelans do.
Opening a coffee place seems like a dream for a lot of people in this community… 😁
Hope you’ll have great time in Jamaica!
P.S. the instant coffee jar is a funny situation, but all of this is just an act of kindness of your mum!
