Great for everyday drinking, because it is smooth and rich and leaves little acid "bite." But still, after having tried Kona coffee with its myriad of subtle flavors, I found Blue Mountain kinda boring. If you like exotic flavors, this isn't it. I love my coffee, and because of that, I have tried lots and lots of varieties although I began as a simple Folgers fantatic. I guess I disagree with experts, but hey, my coffee is important and taste is everything. But it you would like to have consistently smooth, rich, honest coffee, this is the one. Jamaican Mountain Blue Coffee has been touted to be the best of the best world coffees out there by such highly esteemed sources as the Food Network and the kitchens of the White House.I found the low acidity of the coffee very refreshing, but the darkness of this roast has not allowed a lot of subtleness of the flavor to come out. To me, this tastes like Folgers at its best, but nothing more than that.
Certainly not at these prices. I think that it may have been worth the $15/lb, but no more. I bought this coffee in Jamaica ($15 for 1 lb bag). While I liked and enjoyed it, I prefer several coffees from my local shops at about the same price.
Worth the price. Low acid, smooth in the mouth, and it has the most intoxicating aroma. There is a reason they serve this coffee at the White House. Its the smoothest, best coffee ever produced.
I personally bought the beans in Jamaica but it was only $12 for 12 ounces, I have seen such inflated prices on the internet for this product and truly it is not worth it. This coffee is smooth and is not bitter at all. It is wonderfully aromatic and a rich flavor.
This was my first time to try blue mountain, and purchasing it with a gift certificate allowed me to be a bit more extravagant than I otherwise would have been.While the coffee is good, I don't find it to be superior to other coffees I have ordered which are considerably less expensive. I am a coffee lover of many years and as such am always interested in finding good coffees.
