Introduction
We have recently had the chance to work with Rachel at Blue Palm Coffee and helped turn her dreams of bringing Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee to the streets of Dundee in a stunning Airstream coffee trailer.
The Challenge
Rachel found the Big Coffee after a Google search; we arranged a teams’ call whilst she was still living in Jamaica. We listened to what Rachel was trying to achieve and knew that we could match their passion and vision. It was their dream to offer the world-famous Blue Mountain coffee to customers in the UK, from a coffee van or trailer.
Rachel and her family intended to move back to the UK, so hitting key lead times was an important aspect of this build – we set to work!
Read more about Rachels inspirational story.
“It was spring last year that the idea started to come together – when we were in New York.
“I was inspired to start this business because I could not get a decent coffee anywhere apart from Starbucks. And there were so many street traders there and none of them sold coffee!
We were in the “Starbucks Reserve” in the Empire State Building; they have coffees from all over the world. Blue mountain coffee was $18 a cup. (I didn’t buy it…..)
We also spent a lot of time searching the many food trucks there looking for decent coffee… it wasn’t possible.
