I decided to order some Blue Mountain Jamaica from Whittard of Chelsea as I've not tried this before.
As others in the office wanted some good coffee & tea we grouped the order to get free delivery (orders over 50ukp are free in the UK).

Well it arrived this morning and I've made the first cafetiere of this.

I have to say - it's mellow, exceptionally smooth but confident taste without a hint of bitterness (which shows a good roasting). It has really nicely balanced coffee taste with subtle hints of nuttyness and a long smooth pleasant aftertaste.
The coffee has no hint of a caffine bitterness either - except it slowly but surely hits (there does seem to be a good amount of caffine in it!).

Very Impressed. As I usually go for something a lot stronger in roast but this has altered my perception of milder coffees as I usually find them lacking in taste.

If your a coffee nut - it is definately worth trying. :D

And if it's from Whittards it will be insanely overpriced. For those who live in/near Cambridge, the Coffee Shop in King's Street sells the stuff for about half Whittard's price.

Yup - one of the things I'll be doing is looking at other retailers as they offer different coffees.

The Roast and Post Coffee Company does Blue Mountain for £36 for 500g compared to £38.88 for Whittard.

Smith's Coffee Company does Blue Mountain for £25.79 for 2x250 packs (ie 500g). Not sure of the delivery costs but it seems to be £5..

Information that is missing is if they do the roasting themselves or just retail pre-roasted and ground packs.
All that changes the flavour.
