CaribWorldNews, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. June 18, 2009: The Marley name continues to be a recognized brand and to reap money for the late singer`s family.
Bob Marley`s son with Janet Hunt, Rohan Marley, has launched his own brand of organic coffee from the family farm in Jamaica.
Rohan, Lauryn Hill`s long-time partner and the father of five children, and his friend Shane Whittle have founded the beverage company as a tribute to the late reggae singer.
There are several blends, some playing on the names of a few of Bob`s more popular tunes. There is Mystic Morning Wake Up Coffee Medium Roast; Simmer Down Organic Swiss Water Decaf; One Love Organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe; Lively Up! Organic 5 Bean Espresso Blend and Jammin Java Organic Bold Full City Roast.
`My father came from the farmland in Nine Mile. There, he learned a deep respect for nature and humanity - respect that helped guide his life and ours. He said he would return to the farm one day. That was his dream,` Contact Music quoted Rohan as saying.
