Jamaican Blue Mountain

Da Klugs · 11-28-2008, 10:33 PM

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.

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

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

and you smoked a 1492 with it, right?

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

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.

Is that a typo? $131 for 12 oz?

Fixed.

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.

novasurf · 07-25-2009, 10:12 AM

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.

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

MrOneEyedBoh · 11-01-2009, 01:39 PM

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!

chenvt · 11-03-2009, 09:01 AM

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

raisin · 11-03-2009, 04:55 PM

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.

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.

CEC_Tech · 02-26-2010, 06:45 PM

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?

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

CEC_Tech · 02-27-2010, 03:36 PM

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.
