Love this coffee!

First off let me say I love this coffee! It has a good taste, a great smell and is very smooth. When I purchased this I knew I wasn't getting anything close to what I tried in Jamaica. Let's be real here, they aren't claiming to be 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain that is why it is listed as a "Blend". When you buy the blend you are going to a majority of Jamaican Supreme or other South American beans. This is what keeps the cost low. If you are wondering why there are so many blends and people claiming Jamaican Blue Mountain, you must understand that it is a marketing ploy. The majority of the real, high quality Blue Mountain beans stay in Jamaica for tourism or gets sent out to Japan where coffee demands an extremely high price. Anyone with google can quickly learn that true JBM is grown exclusively in the Blue Mountain region at the altitude of 3,000 ft and 5,500 ft. Coffee grown at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 ft is called Jamaica High Mountain, and coffee grown below 1,500 ft elevation is called Jamaica Supreme or Jamaica Low Mountain. Remember that real estate in the higher altitude is very limited & competitive, not many beans are grown there & the beans that are grown at that great altitude with that great soil are VERY expensive. With all this said, please understand that you will still get a great bag of beans here, I am a coffee snob & I enjoy it very much. But if you are expecting to get that "Amazing" cup of Jamaican coffee you got while visiting the Caribbean, I suggest you look somewhere else.

This Jamaican blend is rich in flavor, with reasonable acidity, and a mild body. It is a nice mixture of light and medium roast beans. The mix appears to be a mix of genuine JBM (light roast), some peaberry (light and medium roast), and some medium roaste which have characteristics of Columbian and Mexican beans. This gives the coffee the characteristic Jamaican Blue Mountain mildness and acidity, with a bit more body and taste from the darker beans. This makes it an all around "anytime of the day" coffee. It does have a hint of a "bite," or bitter aftertaste. Compared to other JBM blends we have tried, this is a pretty good blend. We used to buy this coffee from WorldMarket for $14.99/2 pounds, but the beans were always dried out and had a bit more of a bitter aftertaste like chickory gives. What comes from Amazon is fresh and oily, and has a smooth taste. This shows the importance of storing the beans properly after opening, to prevent drying out and degration. I suggest sealing in quart mason jars, and storing in a dark pantry or cabinet, and taking out only enough to be ground for the current pot. Do NOT freeze the beans - this damages them from drawing the moisture out of them.
