Re: Where to buy Blue Mountain coffee?
Tomorrow we are opening my last packet of Treasure Beach's Dawn's High Mountain coffee. I vacuumed sealed 8 bags last year which I then froze. I expect it to taste like it did last year. I also roast my own coffee and like her, bought mine in the Santa Cruz market. I hadn't started roasting yet but trips to Port Antonio's Musgrave Market found beans for sale. I've seen the coffee cherries for sale occasionally in Mandeville too. I suspect most "Blue Mountain" beans are from these areas as real BM beans just aren't for sale on any open market. To me, a good High Mountain coffee can taste pretty similar to any affordable Blue Mountain coffee. The best beans are sold overseas and not in Jamaica or the States. On a trip to the coffee factory it was explained to us that misshaped, broken, off color, or odd sized beans are relegated to be ground and packed with the best being sold in whole bean form. The darker the roast, the less true flavor comes through.
