Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee - 1 Pound - Medium Roast

Good seller and products.

This coffee is so smooth and flavorful with low acidity. My favorite coffee, and this brand is the best of all of the Blue Mountain coffees I’ve tried.

I've found it! I have been searching for authentic Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee at a reasonable price on Amazon for some time now. Yes, you can find it from other sellers for 3 times the price, and up, and while I do consider myself a connoisseur I can't justify even to myself paying that for my everyday coffees. Landor Craft roasters has fixed that. A smooth, robust and flavorful medium roast. On par with some of the finer roasts available and I highly recommend this along with some of their other country of origin coffees. Do treat yourself and enjoy - use in a standard drip maker and avoid the pods with them, not that you can't of course.

I know I was taking a risk with this, given the relatively high price for a pound of coffee. I read many comments just to get a sense of what this is, not having heard of the brand. I know that of this date (late July 2024) the price of the best known Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee are selling at about TWICE this price. I've been a coffee lover for decades, visited plantations, import and blend from time to time... My usual favorites are Hawaiian (mostly in this price range, expensive but cheaper than Jamaican BM) and I enjoy Columbian/Central American and occasional deep roasts (espresso). So.... Blue Mountain is a rarity for me, tried it only recently and it was indeed superb, "in the zone". But now I've been unable to order it at all, directly, even at the higher prices (for less than a large quantity). So I figured, check Amazon, why not? Just made a pot (drip/beans ground) and here's my reaction. "Solid" is the word. It's not the finest example of what one can find (in Jamaica or from the regulated coffee roasters there) so you may not be blown away (so I understand some comments), but but... it's not bad, there's no off-taste notes, and it reminds me actually of some of the Central American coffees, "earthy" (slightly) without acidity. OTOH it is not "complex", with notes of spicy or fruity flavor. For good or bad (people have preferences). On the plus side, it arrived quickly (took weeks to get directly from Jamaica), and it is fresh enough - Expiration date is a year off, though no roast date is given. Also, it's about 50% cheaper than buying directly from a coffee coop or cafe in Jamaica. It came labelled as authentic (this coffee tightly regulated). To me, it rings true as a "medium roast" in general, medium-brown, slightly earthy - *hinting* at "Full City" - but in my sample, anyway, medium it is. Negative? Well, it's expensive for a middle-of-the-road (but decent and 'different') coffee, true. For a religious "Jamaican Blue Mountain" experience, I'd try one of the big brands - for twice this price. I'd say this is 'close enough' to the coffee's special character to qualify as decent/good, but whether this is worth the price to each individual, is subjective. I'm glad I found it, tried it. "You get what you pay for". For Jamaican BM, this is a great price (esp. with free shipping) but not the 'best of breed', which commands a much higher price. Still, at this price, for genuine JBM, it's less than the price of a fine Hawaiian pound, or the top JBM for that matter. On its own, this is 'solid', medium, mild-notes but for sure 'different' and I'm enjoying it in between my other habitual coffees. Nothing terrible here, and not mind-boggling. Decent.

Very good coffee and doesn't bother my stomach.

Good flavor but very weak tasting no matter how much coffee grains I add to it

Nothing better than Jamaican coffee

As someone that's had Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee numerous times, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that this is NOT Blue Mountain coffee. Period. This tastes like dirt and stinky feet. So it's either not Jamaica Blue Mountain, or it's by a country mile the worst blue mountain coffee I've def had. Accordingly, it is absolutely not worth buying or the price charged. I would not buy it again under any circumstances and would rather be drinking instant Folgers than this crap.
