"Jamaican coffee is considered by many to be the world's finest," said Rohan Marley, coffee expert, businessman and son of reggae legend Bob Marley. "Our father was a farmer and an entrepreneur as well as a musician, and we're pleased to deliver the fine taste of Jamaican coffee and our family's heritage to people everywhere through Marley's One Drop."
