Send us a text

In this episode, I share my honest experience with one of the world's most expensive and hyped coffees - Jamaican Blue Mountain. I take you through my journey from my usual medium wash Guatemala to discovering this elusive coffee that costs significantly more than typical specialty beans. I explain how I approached brewing and tasting this coffee black to experience its pure flavor profile, and why the experience left me with mixed feelings about this legendary coffee.

I dive deep into what makes Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee so special yet somehow disappointing at the same time. I discuss the smoothness, the clean flavor profile, and why despite its technical perfection, it lacks the personality and excitement that keeps me coming back to other coffees. By listening to this episode, you'll learn about the reality behind expensive specialty coffee, understand what to expect from Jamaican Blue Mountain if you're considering trying it, and gain insights into how price doesn't always correlate with personal coffee satisfaction. I also explore the concept of coffee personality and why sometimes technical perfection can feel boring compared to more characterful beans.
