Ua hoʻolaha ke Kuhina i kēia hoʻolaha ma mua i kēia lā, i ka wā o ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ke kahua ʻekolu o ka Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Festival, ma ka Knutsford Court Hotel ma Kingston.

Ma hope o ʻelua mau makahiki, ua hiki iā mākou ke aʻo i nā mea he nui, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ko mākou mākau i ka waiho pū ʻana i kēia hoʻonohonoho a hoʻopaʻa.
