The story behind Mt. Cameron Highland Coffee starts with coffee lovers from two different cultures.  Mr. Cameron is an engineer from Indiana. Dr. Cameron is from LA.  Those from the South know LA as Lower Alabama.

“Let’s start a coffee company.”  We already knew the great coffee to sell.   Then the different perspectives appeared. Most coffee sold carries flavor descriptions like “heavy chocolate with overtones of lemongrass and honey” or something like that.  Dr. Cameron looked at the description and said, “Bless your heart, that won’t sell in the South”.  (Another southern code phrase.)  The southern culture is about emotions.
