Marley Coffee

 In 2007, Rohan Marley, son of reggae king Robert Nesta Marley, founded Marley Coffee.  The former University of Miami football player and father to Lauryn Hill's children has since brought a refreshing option to the designer coffee market with signature coffee blends.

"Stir It Up", "Buffalo Soldier", "Mystic Morning", "Lively Up Yourself", "Simmer Down" and "Talkin' Blues"; all are names of crucial Bob Marley tunes well known by fans of reggae music.  However, in this instance the titles refer to blends of coffee offered by Marley Coffee.  Started by Rohan Marley and his business partner Shane Whittle, Marley Coffee is an all organic farm in Jamaica's Blue Mountain region (world renowned for coffee beans).

In addition, Marley Coffee includes beans from Ethiopia and Central America in the blends offered by their company.  The enterprise is founded on ethical business practices and sustainable farming.  The whole bean coffee is gourmet and ranges from medium to dark.  It costs $15.95 per 12 oz. bag and can be purchased at the  Marley Coffee website.

Rohan Marley is also responsible for the Tuff Gong Clothing line.  He founded Marley Coffee because "Bob Marley wanted to return to farming one day, but never had the chance. With Marley Coffee, Rohan Marley fulfills his father's dream."  Recent additions to the Marley Coffee line include: coffee grinders, espresso machines, traditional coffee brewers and containers to keep your Marley Coffee beans fresh.  You can also get Marley Coffee apparel and music from the coffee's namesake, Bob Marley.

 The legacy of Bob Marley has expanded beyond music through the works of his amazing family.  Buy Africa is proud to hail up Marley Coffee!  If you are a coffee drinker, give Marley Coffee a try knowing you are supporting a Jamaican owned business with ties to Africa and the African Diaspora.  Irie!
