Recently, a bit of a fight broke out here at the “offices” of the Robust Beverage Society. The cause of our disagreement was who would get the last cup of coffee. It’s good coffee. The best, if certain aficionados are to be believed.
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is grown, unsurprisingly, only in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. Only coffee certified by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica can be labeled as Jamaican Blue Mountain. It’s highly sought-after stuff, known for being mild, and lacking bitterness.
Damn, but it’s good. I’m not certain it’s worth the $40/pound we paid for it, but it’s good enough that we’re not wasting a single drop of it. The coffee demands to be treated well. Serve only with real cream and real sugar, and precious little of either. You don’t need it, the experience is sublime enough as is.
While ol’ Dave can’t afford to have this coffee as his every-day drink, the occasional cuppa Jamaican…
Just don’t get between me and the last cup in the carafe.
