Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee
Discovering the taste of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee was like finding an extraordinary gastronomic treasure. It's perhaps the most distinctive coffee I have ever tasted, because of its amazingly well-balanced flavor - sweet, smooth, and mild. As much as people love Starbuck's coffee, I can't cope with its bitterness. The best part about this Jamaican coffee is that it lacks bitterness.

From the lush misty Blue Mountains of Jamaica , this coffee is harvested at elevations between 3,000 and 5,500 feet. This species of coffee was introduced to the Caribbean as far back as the early 1700s by Mathieu Gabriel De Clieu. The species originates from southwest Saudi Arabia. The cultivation reached its peak in the early 1800s, and today it's one of the most sought-after and expensive coffees.

You can purchase Blue Mountain Coffee from several sites online including: Brainy Bean, Jablum, and Coffee Beanery. The average cost, not including shipping, is $36 for a 16 ounce bag.
