About Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

Preview of some results in this category:

„Some years ago it was not entirely clear whether any high-quality coffee from the Blue Mountain district of Jamaica was entitled to be marketed as Jamaican Blue Mountain, or whether the name properly applies only to coffees grown on a single plantation, the Wallensford Estate. Today, responsible roasters designate estate-produced coffees grown at over 3,000 feet in the Blue Mountain district of Jamaica as authentic Blue Mountain. Most will be either Wallensford (best) or Silver Hill Estate Mountain.“

„Furthermore, its cost has created an equivalent tothe Jamaican Blue Mountain syndrome: We now have commercial roasters producing Kona stylecoffee, Kona blend coffee, and coffee vaguely labeled Kona that probably consists in largepart of Central American beans. In 1991 most "Kona Blend" coffees sold in Hawaiicontained at most 5 percent actual Kona. Proposed regulations up the minimum percentagerequired by law to 51 percent.“

„Beware of imposters; Jamaica High Mountain is not Jamaica Blue Mountain, and many coffees are actually blends that contain little Jamaican. It's fun to roast Blue Mountain and find out what this highly touted coffee is all about when it is fresh .and why it ranks among the better Mexican coffees in terms of cup quality.“

Tea & Coffee 09/00 - Brazil: Potential vs. Power (#)

„This coffee is now being listed on the selective menus of five-star luxury hotels around the world alongside the ranks of Jamaican Blue Mountain and Hawaiian Kona. Even the quality-pusher, Starbucks, has lended its trust to this bean, carrying on its shelves “Ipanema Bourbon” by the Alfenas company Ipanema Agricola. That’s quite an achievement for a country whose name until recently made roasters cringe.“

Coffee Storage (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„(It isn't grown that way.) So if you put your Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee in the freezer, it needs to be well protected against the possibility of tasting like liquid salmon. Wrap It Up Your goal should be to keep the coffee's contact with water to a minimum. Moreover, the coffee should thaw only once - right before it is brewed.“

A World of Flavor (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„Like Jamaican Blue Mountain (see above), some inferior coffees sometimes purport to be Kona, and it is worthwhile to find out whether you are drinking the real product. Be especially wary of coffees that are "Kona blends" or "Kona-style," both allowing for the possibility that little or none of the coffee is true Kona.“

„For example, the author fusses about Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee costing $18/lb., to which I say "Ha." Not unless she's sleeping with the bean farmer (or, she's being ripped off with an undisclosed blend -- which is also possible). That stuff might *wholesale* for such a price, but if you're buying by the pound it's more like $50 a bag.“
