RE: Coffee from Around the World - Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee

in #coffee7 years ago

You have to be careful, plenty of regions capitalise on the Blue Mountain name - so you see plenty of Kenya Blue Mountain blend coffee and also Kenya AA Blue Mountain - good coffee's but obviously the most expensive is always the true Jamaican Blue Mountain. And like any good high value brand they are very keen on keeping the pretenders out - we have to give full provenance with our sales of their product and provide traceability - so they know how much Jamaican Blue Mountain we purchased and all our sales can be traced to show we sold just the amount we purchased.

I do like a good Robusta, we stock the Vietnam Robusta "Dragon Balls" a great name and really a good coffee - for blending or even drinking on it's own - if you want coffee with a Caffeine kick Robusta gives it people just assume it is lower quality because the price is less - but really the caffeine level means it is just more resilient to pests and can therefore grow better at low altitudes making it easier to harvest.

My advice is to experiment and try new and varied coffee's, alot of Indian coffee is really great coffee even though people don't rate it. I had some Thailand Doi Chang as well - amazing coffee but really hard to get hold of. Tanzania, Peru, Cuba - the price of the coffee's does not always dictate better flavour - some of the lesser know regions produce amazing quality product. Keep working hard, I hope your followers grow.
