I've been asked about access to Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. I'm sure it's because of the availability and price. A general consumer friend, who says she's purchased it over the years, wants to know if I have some info on getting it for her. I don't drink it, haven't tried it, and don't see many threads here on it. Although I did read a thread on various holiday coffees you guys enjoy.
Really, and for me, this is all about a blend or SO, for drip brewing, that yields a rich, smooth, cup of coffee. One of my wholesale suppliers has his own espresso blend, which when drip brewed is a great coffee. I buy it green and do my small test roasts here. While I understand and have enjoyed great single origin coffees, I have to believe that there are other great alternatives, more accessible, than Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Maybe I'm wrong, but in the interum, does anyone have a suggestion for my friend. She is a general consumer, and only knows that coffee comes "roasted." But roasted or available green...... any suggestions? BTW, she lives in the Pasadena area, and I'm tempted to suggest she go to Klatch Coffee in San Dimas to try their offerings.
