Jamaican Blue Mountain №1 - Fresh coffee beans - 100g

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.

As standard we only sell this coffee in 100 grams. That has to do with the very limited batches in which we roast the Jamaican Blue Mountain №1.

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 it concerns, and we will look at what is possible.

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.

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.

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 there they attract moisture and smells. Because this coffee is freshly roasted, the flavour comes into its own best in the first weeks after roasting.
