FRANdata congratulates the Jamaica Blue franchise system (part of the Foodco Group) on being recognised as very high performing brands on the Australian Franchise Rating Scale™.

Ratings are allocated after an independent and fact-based assessment across seven key categories.

In achieving these very strong (5 star) ratings, the franchise systems were able to demonstrate a high level of transparency and a very high level of franchise performance.

FRANdata’s Australian CEO Darryn McAuliffe commented, “the review evidenced a very successful franchise model across all categories measured. One standout feature was the focus on both initial and ongoing training across both brands. An extensive and integrated approach to training was evidenced with the combination of online, classroom and practical in-store activities positioning franchisees well for initial and ongoing success. Importantly, Foodco also continues to invest significantly in brand evolution to ensure the relevance of their store design, brand and product offers”.

Foodco Group CEO, Richard Goodman said “Foodco’s franchised model has continued to evolve in collaboration with a terrific group of passionate team members working and listening to our valued Franchise Partners. Whilst we see this as a big achievement, we will not sit idle. Franchising, our Franchisee needs, and, the needs of our shared customers, is ever changing – so we will continue our pursuit for ongoing improvement”.

McAuliffe went on to say he expected heightened interest in both brands from the lending community given the franchise system has also commissioned the completion of independent Franchise Underwriting reports for lenders”.

Rating assessment outcomes from the Australian Franchise Rating Scale™ are being delivered now to participating franchise systems and are recorded on The Australian Franchise Registry™.

From the Kenyan Highlands, to your local Jamaica Blue

Kiunyu Factory is located in Ngariama Location , Kirinyaga County.

Kirinyaga County sits at the foothills of Mount Kenya, some 112km from Nairobi and borders Embu County to the east, Machakos County to the south, Murang’a County to south west and Nyeri County to the west.

The county is named after Mount Kenya, which is known to the locals as Kirinyaga, meaning the crest of whiteness, synonymous with its snow-capped peaks.

The factory is part of the Karithathi Farmers Cooperative Society which was established in the 1960’s, now with 1,600 active farmer members.

The processing method

The farmers coffee cherries are closely monitored and when ripe and red, handpicked early in the morning and delivered to the factory.

The cherries are then sorted and depulped, graded and washed in channels before being spread evenly on raised beds for 7-15 days, whilst being turned regularly to dry under careful supervision.

Many of the farmers also grow tea as the deep fertile and well-drained soil is ideal for both coffee and tea production.

With a sophisticated & silky mouthfeel, featuring sugary caramel notes balanced by bright citrus acidity, this coffee has all the flavours we have come to expect from high quality Kenyan coffee.

What’s the Perfect Way to try Kiunyu Microlot AA?

Try this outstanding Kenyan coffee as an espresso or long black. Alternatively, partner with your favourite dairy or plant-based milk. All Jamaica Blue baristas are highly skilled, so you can rest assured that your coffee is in expert hands!

It’s now available in-store but also to purchase in easy take home packs, so you can enjoy premium coffee in the comfort of your own home. 

Of course, the advantage of enjoying it at your local Jamaica Blue is that all our baristas are trained in the science of coffee, delivering the perfect temperature and consistency.

Enjoy a cup of Single Origin Kiunyu Microlot AA made just the way you like it, alone or complemented by a snack from our fresh and contemporary menu.

*Terms & Conditions – Free upgrade is valid with any coffee from signature blend to Single Origin on October 1st 2022 only. Not valid with any other offer or discount.

ACCESSORISE YOUR SOCIALS WITH THE BLUE LATTE – A DELICIOUS HOT CHOCOLATE MADE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE AND BLUE CURACAO

Calling all trend-setters, fashionistas, and brightest crayons in the box – the Blue Latte is this season’s hottest new fad. It’s a Jaffa-flavoured hot drink concoction that’s coming to a Jamaica Blue near you for just over two weeks from July 6.

Jamaica Blue Latte, Blue latte, Jamaica Blue

This delicious steaming hot drink is a hot chocolate at its heart, but to make it as special as you are, we’re using a white chocolate base, and adding a hit of blue curacao syrup to give it a vibrant colour to add plenty of pizzazz to your social media stories and your day.

Our Blue Latte’s get their unique colour and delicious Jaffa flavour from blue curacao syrup, which when combined with white chocolate decadence powder and your choice of milk, creates a velvety caffeine-free winter treat. Blue Curacao traditionally is made from the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit, grown on the southern Caribbean island of Curacao.

Monin blue curacao syrup takes inspiration from these origins, providing an alcohol-free alternative that features orange extract sourced from around the world. This slight citrus tang works perfectly with the creamy white chocolate for a wonderful warm treat that will make you forget all about the rain and wind outside. As with all our hot drink options, you can choose from full-cream milk, skim milk, almond, or soy.

The idea behind the Blue Latte is to celebrate creativity and fun, grab attention, to encourage self-expression and dare to be a little different. It’s a way of finding warmth and enjoyment with friends, whether that’s in person to try the Blue Latte together, or over the net from cities across Australia and New Zealand as you share creative snaps online.

And don’t forget – the Blue Latte is available from July, which means it’s in store at the same time as our new Winter Menu, so you can try something different to eat as you enjoy something different to drink. Caribbean Crew loyalty members will even receive a free coffee for every $25 spent in store, so you have every reason – or excuse – to come in over the next few weeks for catch ups, tasty food and drink, and showing the world just how bright and unique you can be.

 

A new Jamaica Blue Grab N Go concept store has opened in New Zealand! The store opened on Saturday 7th of April, at the newly opened Manukau Bus Station in Auckland, New Zealand.

The store’s delicious Grab N Go menu items are displayed in an open fronted cabinet as the store was designed to operate in a high footfall environment.
