The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„The two Blue Mountain samples that came from a farm operated by a similarly obsessive (if charming) proprietor, Old Tavern Estate, elicited a quite respectable rating, one that would have placed these coffees among the leaders of the Kona cupping. It may be that things are going slightly wrong at the two mills that supplied the other two Blue Mountains in this month's cupping: the Wallenford and the Mavis Bank. The Wallenford sample tasted as though it had been scrubbed into lifelessness by aqua-pulping equipment; the Mavis Bank may have been tainted by minor sloppiness marring an otherwise sound traditional wet-processing.“

Jamaican Coffee (#)

„Jamaican coffee is one of the most expensive coffees in the world and therefore can be disappointing.  The best estates are Wallenford, Mavis Bank, and Old Tavern.  Be wary of Blue Mountain coffees that do not list the estate name, do not say 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain, or sell for less than $50 per pound.  Since the coffee is so expensive it is best to try to find it green and roast it yourself since it frequently goes stale on the shelves.“

How We Select Our Coffees, and Cupping (#)

„We don't want to stand in the way of home roasting's great potential: it saves money and its exciting to try unusual varietals. Everyone caries Konas and Wallenford Estate Jamaica Blue Mountain, but they are not good values and they are not very exciting. We test roast every coffee to a City (Medium) roast or about an Agtron 50, and some we cup at 2 degrees of roast to underscore roast tastes and distinguish them from origin tastes. It's important to observe the differences between acidity and bittersweet created by the roast as they combine to produce or reduce complexity.“

The Coffees of Jamaica (#)

„True Blue Mountain is an unusual coffee; it has good body, and some very interesting mild nutty flavors with herbal notes that remind me sometimes of chamomile, sometimes of spice. There are only 4 trade names that can legally call their product Blue Mountain coffee: Wallenford, Mavis Bank, Old Tavern and one other I can never remember. True Blue Mountain is actually grown at higher altitudes than most other island coffees, and much of Mavis Bank's farms are at 5000 feet. Nonetheless, it has the soft cup profile.“

„After dinner was completely done and we were saying our good byes, I gave them a half pound of Jamaican Blue Mountain (Wallenford, from Riley's coffee)/ Kona (Peaberry, from SmithFarms) that I roasted myself the night before. They knew of JBM, not of Kona, but were blown away nevertheless. I never saw such rapidfire head bowing and cries of "sougay" (translation: "great!") in my life.“

CoffeeKid - So much news, it will make your eyes bulge (#)

„My bean stock was getting low about two months ago (can u believe that???) so I went down and shopped. After hours (which was cool), and ended up going home with about 25lbs worth of beans, INCLUDING 2 lbs of JBM Wallenford Estate, for under $160 Cdn (about $105USD). Not too shabby. I got a good variety, including some Colombian, some Brasil (rare for me), some Kenya AA (this year's crop kinda sucks.“

„Lastly, it is important to note that, out of several different JBMs sampled by Ken Davids in a recent review online, Davids rated Old Tavern as the highest of all of them, giving it 10 extra points against the current Wallenford crop. Try the coffee out - visit Kaya Imports and when you email, mention to Jamie Gripton you read about the green pricing here and he'll provide you with that pricing.“

„of arabica typica). The coffee is perfectly prepped, not the JBM Wallenford with pale old coffee and berry-boring bug damage. And it is a much better cup, albeit mild as all Island coffees tend to be. Well, that's the story and its from the Kowali farm (Morning glory in Hawaiian) and I am pretty sure I bought the entire lot of this for the 2000 year from Skip and Rita, the growers.“

„All of this talk about pricing has awakened me. As for Jamaicans, are you only buying the Wallenfords? There are a couple of other great estates there which have equally outstanding blue mountain, and sometimes even better. And on the Konas, what farms do you aquire your greens from?“
