Green Coffee TradersWhole Bean 1LB. 100% Jamaica Jamaican Blue Mountain Roasted Coffee

WOW! These beans are smooooooth and a great flavor. No acid aftertaste. Just delicious coffee.

My thoughts on Green Coffee Trader's Jamaican Blue beans, which I've had before - and the fact that Amazon sent me Kona beans instead. This was not the seller's fault, but I wanted to share my thoughts on the Jamaican Blue that I sent to the seller:I swear I never intended to become a coffee snob; I only wanted to attain the level of "Coffee Arrogance", with a mastery in coffee brewing and a secondary mastery in Mercantile Trading. I specialize in the exchange of coffee beans (for my personal use and enjoyment) in exchange for mutually acceptable currency.My first experience with the Jamaican Blue coffee beans instilled within me a palette for coffee with a permanent buff triggered by the elixir of the Jamaican Blue coffee bean. Consumption of the elixir of the Jamaican Blue bean provides me with +5 RELAXATION and +5 CONSTITUTION buffs. Offering the Elixir of the Jamaican Blue beans to others also provides a + 5 CHARISMA boost.Wizards, Witches, and Muggles alike aspire to attain the Jamaican coffee bean, the highest quality of which are obtained from a small region of the Blue Mountains on the eastern side of the island and grow at an elevation of 2,000 to 5,500 feet above sea level. Travelers and traders beware! The only merchant to be trusted to deliver the finest, authentic coffee beans is Green Coffee Traders. Their trade routes are swift and secure. One only need to be wary of the final handoff, from the shipper who must offer it to the Monolithic Monster of the Amazon who cares nothing of my satisfaction with the end product. The Monolithic Monster of the Amazon thrives on quantity, not quality. When this conglomeration of a corporate monster rears its ugly head and does not deliver as it should, one can only cower and run away - hoping to deliver a message to the forthright merchant whose initial shipment was offered to the monster. Unfortunately, the Amazonian monster lost its shipment within the mazes of the Forest of Fulfillment.My complaint is not with thee, kind merchant and seller. My feud lie with the horrid Amazonian monster, spawn of the two demons “Ordering” and “Shipping”. It is this evil offspring which has curtailed the successful completion of my order and your mission.Kind merchant, please consider trading the lovely story above for a quantity of The Magic Blessed Blue Beans of Jamaica. The beans are considered magical by those possessing the ability to appreciate their scent, their beauty, and the wondrous elixir which yields from its beans.[p.s. To readers: I'm getting my Jamaican Blue beans. YAY!]Warm Regards,Keith, Bearer of The Blessed Mug of Coffee Arrogance

I went to Jamaica back in the 1980's for a reggae festival and fell in love with Blue Mountain coffee while I was there. This product helps keep those memories alive.

On a recent Cruise through Central America, I collected coffee from all of our stops. Most of the locals will point you to their best coffee brands of which they are quite proud. When I got home I did a blind taste test of them all and while they were all very good the JBM was the smoothest and tastiest coffee. I have had JBM before and remember its smoothness and delicious taste.When it came time to buy some more coffee I decided, that's it, I don't drink that much coffee anymore so I may as well drink the best and ordered some JBM off of Amazon. While this was good, it was not great and I was a little disappointed spending that much and getting what I would call an above-average cup of coffee. I will continue to seek out where I can find the best JBM. Don't get me wrong, this had some of the aroma of JBM but not a lot of the flavor and it was more bitter. So I will chalk this up to a learning expense and continue my search for the best-tasting JBMPositives:- Nice cup of coffee,- Has some of the same smells as JBM- Convenient to buy, don't have to travel to JamaicaNegatives- Not as good as the coffee that I purchased in Jamaica- Just as expensive (about $40/lb)- Not as smooth and lacking some flavorConclusions:Again, I was a little disappointed when I brewed this as I was hoping it would be the same quality of coffee as what I purchased while in Jamaica. I will continue to seek out better quality. I have a hard time justifying $40/lb for something that is not outstanding.In my opinion, this coffee is on par with other coffees from Central America.4 Stars

Great Coffee

Unopened package presents with pleasant coffee aroma but down hill rapidly, thereafter! Upon opening the package, there is no aroma of coffee, nor anything near it! There is only an unwelcomed & unidentifiable scent reminiscent of a loss leader, supermarket-shelf, “coffee.” The tasting found no coffee flavors!

I think Jamaican Blue Mountain, still in bean form, is the best coffee in the world that I know. It’s grown only in the lush mountains of Jamaica, and imo it’s worth every penny. The aroma, and taste fills you with anticipation for the first sip, and continues until your last.

not the flavor I was hoping for
