UCC the Blue Mountain Blend

UCC the Blend, Blue Mountain, 50g ($15.90)

Being much impressed with UCC 117, we had no qualms about going into its Blue Mountain (and bought also their other blend to try). Alas, we were quite disappointed with its shallow flavor and lack of bitterness in this expensive bottle - just 1 stick of creamer is needed; lest the cream overpowered the beans..

I needed the creamer badly to help drown this cup. Is that how this supposedly good coffee taste like??

Yes, it is. I later read it here that the best lots of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee tastes this way! And Japan, the main consumer, imports more than 80% of the total production from some of these highest mountains in the Caribbean!?

But we, like the rest of the world, are not making the Blue Mountain our regular cuppa ;)
