One of the most refined and revered varietals, Blue Mountain is a perennial palate-turning coffee for the discerning drinker. It is full of flavor, completely balanced and brings a level of satisfaction one could want with a strong and intense aroma. Spoiler Alert: It will remind you throughout the cup that this is a game-changing coffee not often experienced — about 85% is exported to Japan. Wallenford Estate, one of the most notable farms of this varietal, plants the Arabica Typica as the dominant variety, holding more flavor with less acidity. The cherries are grown as high as 7,500 feet and collectively, are simply hard to come by — and especially at this price. Combine that scarcity and you can see why it's a splurge coffee or a special love gift. Roasted exclusively medium to guarantee that sweet spot.  This can be used as espresso, but remember to grind it finer than your darker espressos — temps closer to 206 — for the best extraction.
