Jamaica Blue Mountain Grade 1 from Wallenford Estate, one of the best-known producers in Jamaica's Blue Mountains. Washed Arabica, mostly of the Typica variety, famous for its mild, creamy flavour without bitterness.

"Blue Mountain Coffee" is a protected name: only officially certified coffee from this region may carry it. The green beans reach us in the distinctive barrels in which Jamaica Blue Mountain has traditionally been exported.

We give these beans a medium roast, in very small batches and only after you order. It may therefore take a few days before your order is shipped. Expect a smooth, creamy cup with notes of milk chocolate and hardly any bitterness.

Details

Exclusive coffee beans from the Blue Mountains in eastern Jamaica, where the peaks rise to 2,300 metres. Grade 1, washed, from Wallenford Estate.

Wallenford Estate

Wallenford is one of the major exporters and for a long time the largest producer of Blue Mountain coffee, with more than 5,000 acres of plantations. The company runs the entire supply chain itself. At local pulperies the coffee cherries are pulped and washed, after which the beans go to central drying facilities in Clarendon. There they are dried, hulled, graded, hand-sorted and packed in the well-known barrels.

Wallenford also invests in the farmers and communities around its plantations, for example with support for food crop cultivation and by donating kitchens, internet access and computers to local schools.

Why Blue Mountain is so special

The cool, moist and fertile mountains allow the coffee cherries to ripen slowly. Almost 90% of the coffee plants in Jamaica are of the Typica variety: an old Arabica with low yields but a mild, smooth cup. "Blue Mountain Coffee" is a protected trademark; only coffee certified by the Jamaican authorities may carry that name.

Flavour and brewing

We give the beans a medium roast. The result is a smooth, creamy coffee with notes of milk chocolate, a gentle sweetness and hardly any bitterness. Ideally taste it black first, as filter coffee, pour-over or from a cafetière. It works as an espresso too, but a mild coffee like this is easily lost under a lot of milk.

FAQ
Customer Questions
Is the Jamaican Blue Mountain №1 roasted fresh?

Yes. We roast this coffee in very small batches only once your order has come in, with a medium roast. That means it can take a few days before the bag is ready to ship.

Freshly roasted beans still need five to seven days to degas. If you brew the coffee straight after you receive it, the taste can still be a little wild; after a few days the profile comes into better balance.

Is the Jamaican Blue Mountain №1 also available in a pack larger than 100 grams?

As standard, we only sell this coffee in 100-gram packs. That is because we roast the Jamaican Blue Mountain №1 in very limited batches.

If you want to buy more than three bags, we can have the coffee packed in a different size on request. Let our customer service know how many bags you need and we will see what we can do.

What does the Jamaican Blue Mountain №1 coffee taste like?

This coffee comes from the Arabica Typica coffee plant and is known for its mild, creamy character and the almost complete absence of bitterness. We describe the taste as rich, creamy, milky and chocolatey, with fruity notes and a hint of honey.

The beans come from the Chatsworth Estate on the mountain slopes of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica, at 915 to 1040 metres altitude, and are medium roasted.

Which brewing methods is the Jamaican Blue Mountain №1 suitable for?

According to the product details, this coffee works well for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino. Because these are whole beans, you grind them yourself to suit the method you use: espresso grind for an espresso machine, filter grind for a pour-over filter or filter machine, and whole beans for a bean to cup machine.

As a guideline we use around 5 to 8 grams per cup for filter coffee and 16 to 20 grams for a double espresso. Given the small 100 gram pack, it is wise to get the grind right in one go and not experiment too much.

How should I store the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans?

Store the beans cool, dark and well sealed, preferably in the original bag or in an airtight tin. Oxygen, light and heat are the biggest drivers of flavour loss.

Do not put the beans in the fridge, because they absorb moisture and smells there. Because this coffee is freshly roasted, the flavour is at its best in the first weeks after roasting.
