The creme de la creme of coffee - Blue Mountain

This morning, I finally tasted the limited edition UCC Blue Mountain freeze dried coffee which I'd bought from Carrefour some time back. This is despite I still have not finished the bottle of organic Columbian freeze dried coffee. I think it is a limited edition because I haven't seen this blue mountain coffee anywhere else, not even at Isetan Orchard where there is currently a promotion on UCC coffee. This blue mtn version comes in a small bottle about half the size of the usual UCC freeze dried coffee, yet it costs almost double their usual price!



Anyway, the blue mtn coffee (with evaporated milk) tasted very very smooth, with no hint of bitterness at all. Whatever acidity there is in it was so very nuanced, that I think it can be drank black, and even a non-coffee drinker like that SO can drink it.


Notes about this coffee (from Wikipedia):
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is a classification of coffee grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The best lots of Blue Mountain coffee are noted for their mild flavor and lack of bitterness. Over the last several decades, this coffee has developed a reputation that has made it one of the most expensive and sought-after coffees in the world. In addition to its use for brewed coffee, the beans are the flavor base of Tia Maria coffee liqueur.
