In Costa rica What coffe do you drink? Nescafe of course!

Recently I visited Costa Rica, Columbia, Jamaica, Belieze, Honduras, and obviously had to bring back samples of beans for my vivi espresso.

On a coach tour in Costa Rica the guide asked who drank coffee and in true Brit style most people answered Nescafe!!!

Working my way through the various bags

Wallenford Blue mountain makes avery nice cup.

Gallon Jug from Belieze was difficult to make a nice cup and the majority are on the garden now,

Cafe Copan Honduras, unique and I am still trying to master a decent cup.

Cafe Britt (costa rica) organico bajo sombra makes a very nice cup.

Obviously these are not fresh as (Has bean) on the roast yet the Blue Mountain was just lush, shame I will not be buying at uk prices.

Yep JBM is expensive but there is an alternative http://www.javathehut.co.uk/coffee/
It's a Blue Mountain blend i.e. a fake JBM, but one sixth of the price. I bought some about 3 years ago and it's very good indeed. If you ring up and ask for Georgina, she will sell it in green form - split into it's three components.
