A Taste of JBM

I had a special treat this afternoon. Some friends brought me some Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans to try. It had probably been 10 years since I had tried JBM and I haven’t bought any already-roasted coffee beans in almost five years.

I had been bragging about a fantastic lot of Harrar Horse (Lot 30) that I got from Sweet Maria’s, home of some of the finest finest home-roasting green coffee beans, roasters and coffee machines.

This Lot 30, a.k.a. “Blueberry Horse,” has significant natural flavors (not added flavorings!) of chocolate and blueberry.

I had written about the Blueberry Horse before and my friends were very interested in trying some.

Today, I took some freshly roasted Blueberry Horse to Walter & Karen, who had a surprise of some excellent JBM beans for me. Of course, I brought them home and immediately brewed some in my vacuum coffee pot — the brewer of the smoothest coffee I know.

It was fine. What can I say? It was fine. I’d brew another pot now, except then I’d be awake ALL night instead of just part of the night!
