Oh, I think the best thing about the Jamaican Blue Mountains is surely the coffee. As mentioned a few posts ago, I came into possession of some super-fancy and very expensive Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. We, Last night we had a tasting and made a pot.
Oh boy. First…I don’t think I have a very sensitive palate…but I’ve got to say that it was as fine a cup of coffee as I have ever had. Bold, rich, slightly earthy, not at all spicy, and with an aroma that would be the archetype of coffee aromas. I found it supremely satisfying and would love more…I just cannot (at this time) justify the expense.
I have enough for another pot. I look forward to it.
If you find yourself with an opportunity to try some of this coffee, you should…it it decadent. And beware blends. The local Fresh Market sells a Jamaican Blue Mountain blend but I don’t know the bean ratio but it’s got to be low since it’s running around $20 a pound instead of the $99 a pound that you see for a bag of pure Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.
And the Omnivore list has another item knocked off.
