Jamaican Coffee reviews 'Blue Mountain
coffee'
Jamaica Blue Mountain "Wallenford Estate" has been satisfying coffee connoisseurs around the globe for more than two centuries and is famous for its exquisite flavor, balanced acidity, a clean refined taste, unusual sweetness, excellent body and intense bold aroma. Simply Amazing!
Time For A Delightful and Well-Deserved Change
The Blue Mountain Range is a majestic group of mountains located at the eastern
end of the island, north of Kingston. They reach their highest point at the Blue
Mountain Peak, towering 7,402 feet above sea level. The high altitudes along
with cool, misty weather cause the coffee beans to take longer to mature – up to
10 months from bloom to harvest (twice as long as most growing regions). This
gives the rich soil time to yield a better, smoother coffee with enhanced flavor
and aroma.
Coffee was first introduced to Jamaica in 1728 by Governor Sir Nicholas Lawes,
when he brought seedlings from Martinique. Within nine years 83,000 pounds of
coffee was exported. Today, several fine coffees are grown throughout the
mountainous regions of Jamaica, but only one special area of these mountains
yield the outstanding, flavorful Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee.
Limited Supplies + Quality Control = Distinctly Jamaica Blue
The Jamaican Coffee Industry Board is the sole exporter of Blue Mountain coffee.
Despite its proximity to Jamaica, the United States only gets approximately 10%
of the annual Blue Mountain coffee crop – 85% of all Blue Mountain coffee is
exported to Japan and most of the remaining 5% goes to Europe. Jamaican Blue
Mountain coffee is exported in registered, marked barrels to ensure the
authenticity of the coffee.
As a tourist in Jamaica you will very seldom be offered a true Jamaican Blue
Mountain coffee in restaurants or hotels. With only 5 to 10 percent of true
Jamaican Blue Mountain left for local consumption, it is a privilege
reserved to very expensive hotels or restaurants.
The rest of the world pays a heavy price for this exceptional coffee, but as long as the Jamaican Coffee Industry Board
keeps a rigid production and quality control in place, Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is well worth the price to pay.
Always Premium Quality – Never Less

Customer Review: Fast shipping, great product!
This coffee takes me back to Jamaica. Arrived in a very timely manner and was delicious!
Customer Review: Decent coffee, but ridiculously priced for not fresh coffee
I mean this stuff was roasted how long ago? A far lesser coffee roasted a couple of days ago is going to taste a whole lot better. At $50 per pound, what you're tasting is justification for spending the money. What you should do, if you have the money for this sort of coffee, is buy a coffee roaster...
What I need now is another Jamaican Blue Mountain 'Wallenford
Estate' cup of coffee!
Cheers,
Carlyn
