About J.L. Hufford Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee - 12 Ounce Bag - Whole Bean Coffee

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, long considered some of the world's finest coffee is admired for its delicate balance of aroma, acidity, and body. The sweet, mellow and lingering finish elevates this coffee to a nearly legendary status. Grown in the majestic hills of the Jamaican Blue Mountains, this rough, hilly terrain is cool with lots of rain and the soil is rich - very rich - and is considered among the most perfect conditions for farming coffee anywhere in the world. The beans are shade-grown under a canopy of rainforest-preserving trees, without the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or other additives. Biodiversity and organic farming methods make for healthier soil, help prevent water contamination, provide habitat for dozens of species of migratory birds, and form a vital component of their exceptional flavor.

About J.L. Hufford Gourmet Coffee

Our philosophy is that the best farmers, the best beans, and the best roasts make the best cup of coffee. Each of our specialty flavored coffees, single-origins, and varietal blends are made from 100% Arabica coffee (except for some of our espresso blends), and packaged to order for guaranteed freshness. J.L. Hufford purchases only from the top 3% of the highest quality Arabica coffee grown. Our coffee buyers have traveled to many coffee producing countries to find and inspect some of the world's greatest coffees. To us, all aspects of buying and processing coffee are important, like adherence to rigid quality control standards. Multiple tests are conducted on the coffee samples once they are brought back to the states. Using state-of-the-art lab equipment and trained coffee cuppers, our roasters analyze many aspects of the beans: moisture percentage, the amount of defects, the bean size, and most importantly, the actual cup quality. Each coffee is rated on over 20 different taste characteristics before we purchase a single bean. Immediately after roasting the bean, the coffee is packaged into nitrogen-flushed bags. This process forces nitrogen into the package, replacing the oxygen, that would otherwise quickly age the coffee. The nitrogen preserves the wonderful flavor characteristics of fresh-roasted coffee. For flavored coffees, flavor oils are added in a cup-tested proportion such that just the right amount of each flavor is infused into the bean during the appropriate minutes of roasting. Enjoy this or any of J.L. Hufford's coffees in one of several grind sizes or whole bean.
