Green Coffee Traders 1LB. 100% Jamaica Jamaican Blue Mountain Roasted Coffee - City Roast, 1lb Bag

Update end of NOV-24 After my first review (below) I was excited to buy it again...but disappointed that it is the same lot as before with same expiration and it has lost a lot of its zip and deeper flavor. Had to use more coffee for a decent cup and it no longer makes great espresso. It is going stale!!! Beware!!!! You can still get away with cold brew ...but that was it. If they roast another lot of this...I am in. but this lot has date left on the expiration date shown...just little flavor left in the bag...and is oxidizing by the day...CAVIAT EMPTOR! (ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM 1ST PURCHASE EARLIER IN YEAR FOLLOWS BELOW): I loved this stuff! First of all finding a dark roast JBM coffee is a challenge, but fining one that has this flavor profile may be impossible. The beans could be a little fresher (they are not stale). They taste delicious and have the distinctive taste of my favorite Arabica coffee variety which is called Typica. It is the same bean used in Kona and many other superlative volcanic soil coffees. I knew it was the real deal when I smelled it after grinding. This can take a fine grind and not turn to dust. It works very well as a single origin espresso due to its dark slow roast and its mild and full bodied Typica genetics. This may seem pricey but Jamaican Blue Mountain is expensive for the same reason Kona is...it is not a large volume plant....but the best one IMO...it originates in SE Ethiopia and Yemen from volcanic mountain soils. Love this coffee!!

Delicious! I love Jamaican coffee and this one is great and not a blend.

No longer medium roasted. City roast adds slight bitter finish. Flavor is not as rich and nutty as last year’s purchases. Perhaps hiding a lessor crop. Plus they’re pricing themselves out.

great coffee, smooth and rich, not bitter

It is very good coffee, but they're wasting money. They put it in a very nice cloth bag. That may be worthwhile when they sell it in a store, but it adds NO value to me AT ALL. I really dislike throwing away those nice bags, and the extra weight burns more CO2 in transit. I hope they'll Save the Planet and not spend money on those bags.

was not as flavorful as advertised

I have sampled many medium and dark roast coffees and discovered that Jamaica Blue Mountain is my favorite. These beans are fresh and full of excellent flavor. It will be my go-to when it's time to re-order.

Bought for my son and he loves it
