James Bond calls Blue Mountain the best coffee in the world. But he also likes his vodka martinis shaken not stirred. And being a fictional character, I would not totally rely on his judgement... (grin)Quote:

That coffee you linked doesn't have the "seal", which all certified Blue Mountain coffee has. Not saying it isn't legit, but there are only 4-5 processors that are certified JBM, and I don't see any of their trademarks, or the seal.Quote:

If you are a coffee person a tour of the farm and learning about their history and the history of coffee in JA in enlightening.Quote:

This is for 4 x 1lb Fresh Packs. Sealed immediately after roasting in the finest packaging with a one way degassing valve and a seal of authenticity. Keep some as from yourself and give some away as a gift.
This is "The real McCoy". Masterly roasted in small batches as it's ordered to ensure optimum freshness. The roasting profile is a "City Roast". This is a deep shade of brown and the optimal roast for an origin coffee. This is not considered a dark roast. You taste the full origin qualities and characteristics of the coffee and not the roast itself.
Costco in my area has sold Jamaican coffee blends for years but lately has not had any. I asked why and they said the last Jamaican coffee crop was the smallest in years because of mold, drought and other factors. I did a search and a Gleaner story popped up saying the same thing. So, it may be in short supply or more expensive.
I had some from Costco also but it was a blend. I thought it was kind of bitter and not very smooth. Interesting about the small crop.Quote:
