Specialty Coffees: Much of the coffee is processed at cooperatives, some of which are Fair Trade certified.
Botanical Varietals: Caturra, Typica, Criollo.

My taste evaluation:

Very sweet-toned aroma: pungent, cocoa-ish, a hint of flowers. In the cup rich, complexly expressed acidity, syrupy mouthfeel. Deep floral tones are supported by a crisp, lemony baker’s chocolate. Long, flavor-saturated finish.

Remember:

Certified organically grown at an elevation over 8500 feet above sea level, making it perhaps the highest grown coffee in the world. This nuance consists entirely of peaberries, a kind of bean that results when the coffee fruit develops only a single, oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. Peaberries produce a somewhat different cup than normal beans from the same crop, from which they may or may not be separated during grading. Olympia Coffee Roasting is a small-batch wholesale and one-location-retail roasting company with a youthful style and a commitment to the best quality coffees.

Final Thoughts

Calling all coffee snobs: Balanced, complete, big-bodied, subtly exotic. Collectors of coffee experiences may be interested in consuming what is possibly the world's highest grown coffee.

Easiest Iced Coffee You Will Ever Make

instant iced coffee

To coffee lovers! Learn everything you need to understand instant cold brew coffee.
Post on How to Use Instant Cold Make Coffee.

The Easiest Iced Coffee You Will Ever Make

I love coffee. It’s pretty much my favorite thing in the whole world, besides my family of course. It helps me start my day on the right foot and it gives me the energy to tackle whatever the day throws at me. Plus, it tastes amazing.
Instant Iced Coffee
Most days I wake up and brew a hot cup of Joe, but when the weather turns warmer, there’s nothing I love more than a tall glass of iced coffee. Not only is it refreshing, it’s also a great pick-me-up any time of the day.Sudden Coffee Crystalized Coffee 300x100

While I almost always make my own coffee at home (it is easier and cheaper after all), I hardly ever make my own iced coffee. It’s not as easy and it takes more time to make, so I usually buy mine from my local coffee shop. It’s convenient and I like the taste, but it does add up over time. Being the frugal person that I am, I’ve been trying to find a cheap and easy way to make iced coffee at home. I’ve tried so many different recipes and I’m happy to say that I’ve finally found one that truly is cheap and easy!

A while back I shared all the reasons why instant coffee is awesome and it got me thinking that I should use it to make iced coffee. After experimenting a little bit, I came up with the perfect recipe using Folgers Instant Coffee. Not only is it so simple, but it’s also affordable and it tastes great!

All you need is Folgers Instant Coffee, cold water and ice. You can customize it by adding half & half cream, sweetener, flavored syrups such as vanilla, hazelnut or caramel, and whipped cream.
Simply dissolve the instant coffee in water (this doesn’t take long) and then add ice and whatever else you prefer — cream, sweetener, flavored syrup — and top with whipped cream if you want to get fancy. In less than one minute, you have the perfect iced coffee customized to your liking!
Ingredients
1 tsp. Folgers Instant Coffee (add more if you want a stronger cup)
6 oz Cold Water
1 Cup Ice
Half & Half Cream, Optional
Sugar or Sweetener, Optional
Flavored Syrup, Optional
Whipped Cream, Optional
Get Ingredients Powered by Chicory
Instructions
Pour water into a tall glass and add instant coffee. Stir until coffee crystals have fully dissolved.
Fill glass to the top with ice and add cream, sweetener or flavored syrup to your liking. Top with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!

Volcanica Coffee is helping the CIB

We have also been assisting the CIB in protecting their brand and reporting and rooting out counterfeit products that claim to be authentic Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee. The main test to determine the authenticity of coffee beans is a laboratory test performed by the CIB. However, one of the easiest tests is the price point since no true Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is available at a low price. Any low-priced JBM coffee must be marked “blend” on the product to distinguish it from 100% pure.

What is Jamaica Blue Mountain?

Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is renowned for being one of the most expensive and sought-after coffees in the world. It comes from a recognized growing location in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica situated on the east side of the country between Kingston and Port Antonio. As well as being the longest mountain range, rising to 2,256 meters (7,402 ft), they are some of the highest mountains in the Caribbean. The climate of the region is cool and misty with high rainfall. This combination of climate and soil is considered ideal for growing arabica beans.

Blue Mountain Coffee has a very clean taste, with a noticeable sweetness. The flavor is bold, smooth and rich. Balanced, with almost no bitterness. There’s a sweet, intense floral aroma, and the taste contains hints of nuts, cocoa and spices.
