My favorite brand is Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. My husband and I went to Jamaica for our thirtieth wedding anniversary. We had heard that Blue Mountain Coffee was considered the best in the world, but we had never tried it. The resort we were staying would only serve it if you asked for it specifically. We remembered to ask for it on the third day and never forgot again.
Blue Mountain Coffee is smooth, mellow, and has zero aftertaste. We are coffee weenies; our stomachs can’t really handle most brands and we had no trouble with Blue Mountain.
People began growing coffee in Jamaica in 1728. Coffee growers attribute the smooth, mellow flavor to the volcanic soil that the island provides. The distribution of the coffee is strictly controlled by the Jamaica Commodities Regulatory Authority*. If the coffee you purchase does not have the certification mark on it, it’s not Blue Mountain coffee.
My husband and I pinch pennies until they scream but we only buy Blue Mountain coffee. For our entire married lives (34 1/2 years) we have shared a pot of coffee sitting up in bed in the morning. We visit, share plans for the day, and discuss important topics. Blue Mountain joined us four and a half years ago and we will never go back to regular coffee if we can help it.
