THE Michael Lee-Chin-owned Wallenford Coffee Company Ltd will supply large chain Starbucks with Jamaica Blue Mountain (JBM) coffee in Japan, starting this month.
Starbucks Reserve Wallenford JBM coffee will sell for 6,330 yen or about J$6,500 per 250 grammes (nine ounces) in Japan. The development comes within the context of the proliferation of 100 yen single-serve coffee packets in that market.
