Mavis Bank is a rural coffee farming community approximately 10 miles (16 km) north east of Kingston, Jamaica in east rural St. Andrew in the Blue Mountains, close to the border of Portland.[3]
The town takes its name from a surrounding coffee (named after Mavisbank House an historic house in Scotland) which has been owned by the Munn family for many years, and is the main employer in the area.[4] One of the coffees produced by the estate is Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.[5]
Close to the west south west is a summit of the same name on which stands a tertiary triangulation station (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.).[3]
