Our Destination Wedding & The Blue Mountains called us to Jamaica

​

Ovelle Coffee was inspired by an eventful stay and joyous destination wedding on the foot of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica, our lives were forever changed by the revelation that our family had land and history in the heart of the world's best coffee growing region. While touring a coffee farm during our stay, we hiked to the top of the Blue Mountains, we peered out to the banana trees shading the coffee plants below and marveled at the sight. Picturesque blue sky and unending shades of green took our breaths away. At the end of the tour and 2 lbs of the world’s rarest coffee we knew that we found something special. After we tied the knot, we soon realized that we had to bring this revered coffee to our community. 

 

Craft and community is what comes to mind when we think of Ovelle Coffee.  That is why we decided to do something that many would consider a dream, we started our own coffee business. Coffee is not your average small business for us, it is an exciting challenge. An opportunity to wake up every morning with a cup of Jamaica Blue Mountain and make a difference. Here at Ovelle Coffee we believe that the everyday choices of coffee have a large range, which is why we provide the best options for you to choose. 

 

Jamaica Blue Mountain (JBM) coffee is Alkaline, rare, and carries a host of health benefits. A year prior to our destination wedding, I (Sasha) stopped drinking coffee due to it’s high acidity levels.  Coupled a 5-year pre-diabetes diagnosis, I made an Alkaline lifestyle change.  While on the coffee farm, finding out that JBM was the only natural Alkaline coffee, gave way to an epiphany that it was the only coffee for me. As we all know health is wealth! 

 

Quality and health are not the only aspects of Ovelle Coffee, community is always top of mind. We remain active in the community through our volunteer efforts with Hope Out Loud CT a free Coffeehouse and Open Mic in West Hartford. We also support farmers in a real way through our direct trade initiative which allows co-op farmers an advantage to compete, on a small scale, with larger estates. Going beyond fair trade with direct trade allows us to work directly with farmers to pay a fair wage and give them the ability to reinvest in their farms. We want to change the way people view coffee not as just another delicious beverage but as a community creator. Supporting Ovelle Coffee supports the local farmers of Jamaica and helps lay the groundwork for a new economy we can all learn from.
