Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

A fine friend (Raisin) roasted some of this fine bean up for me. Got it on Tuesday via overnight express from his Monday roast. Had a note saying it would peak on Thanksgiving and not to waste it.

Had 2 pots yesterday and one today by myself. What a wonderfully smooth rich nuanced bit of heaven this stuff is. Heresy I know for you purists but I brew it a bit strong and drink it with cream and Splenda. MMM. :D

It is a good coffee,,,had it at the local Costco this week and picked up a bag.

I grabbed some in grand cayman, I enjoy it very much but only make a cup at a time

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

JBM is my favorite, very well balanced. +1 on brewing it a bit stronger.

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

and you smoked a 1492 with it, right? :tg

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

I took a chance and tried a bag off the Uncle; Wow!!!

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

It is authentic JBM Mavis Bank Grade One. No blend. No fillers. We're happy that you are happy.

Authentic is the ONLY way we roll.

I used to love me some Wallenford Estate JBM. Good stuff.
Low acid kept my stomach from trying to kill me, but the caffeine made my hair stand up. :)

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

There are many different JBM'ers out there.
Wallenford, when right, is very good.
And so is the Castle.
Our preference is Mavis Banks.

I also have a friend that grows coffee J'sBM.
His JBM peaberry is outstanding.

Is that a typo? $131 for 12 oz?

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

It is a place holder. Sorry it scared you off....LOL.

Fixed.

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

Coming in by the barrels folks. Stay tuned.
Also Kona Extra Fancy Greenwell Farms too....depending on my tasting of it Monday.

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

Just got into my 2nd order from the Uncle on JBW.


Still thinking....Wow. Good stuff.

How's the Kona, BTW???

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

Have heard good things but not yet tried it..... awesome job, Raisin!

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

I'm interested in both the blue mountain and Kona coffees. If anyone has some they would like to sell me, please PM me. I dont have a grinder so it would need to be ground if possible. Thanks!

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

I hear costco has a good blue mountain and/or kona.. but dammit it's never there when I go :(.. maybe it's just my costco that doesn't have it in stock

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

where does the time go, i just saw this thread! It was Mavis Banks beans that i sent Dave last year, and like novasurf remarks, it comes it small barrels. It is a large bean and difficult to homeroast, especially with "air" roasters.

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

JBM are great beans. I enjoyed mine in a French press, loved every sip. Probably one of the best pounds that i have every had the pleasure to enjoy.

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

for all you Blue Mountain drinkers out there, is it really worth the money? I like kenya AA myself, and have even tried roasting my own with great success.

Should I just pull the trigger and buy a pound?

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

I think that is the only way you are going to know. I'd say it is worth the shot for sure!

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

The more I think about it, the more I think I will just do it. Anyone got a good source? For the coffee I mean.;)

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

Coffees are shipped at varying times of the year, don't know what the timeline is for JMB.

Try Unclebeanz or Sweetmarias.

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

Loved the coffee when we were in Jamaica. Brought a pound home and thought it was really good. Will be watching the source recommendations.

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

Just cracked our third barrel of this earlier this week. Roasted it for some customers, and a little for us. Perfect Sunday morning cup.

Re: Jamaican Blue Mountain
 

Had a lb. each of Kona Pea and Xtra fancy traded to me for
some Opus on another forum. I roasted the Fancy and its just
heavenly. 20.00 lb. raw.
Havnt had the JBM since the recession set in.
