Does one's palate get "jaded" through drinking the same coffee?
How many "This coffee needs me to stop what I'm doing" moments do you get?
I normally only have one coffee on the go - open the bag of beans and keep using it till it's all gone, then on to the next one with 3 cups a day being average. The vast majority of my consumption is Central / South American, with the occasional deviation into Africa. My recent purchases included a Kenyan - Kiriga AB Washed and the first time I tried it after a run of Americans it was "Ooh, nice!", with the taste being totally different to the previous coffee I'd been drinking.
Unfortunately I haven't experienced that same sensation since that first cup

Perhaps I just need to drink more Kenyans! A few years ago I was doing something in the garden and got to the point where it was coffee time. I made some one and went back outside to what I was doing. I had a sip as I was walking out and it was "STOP!!!! Get a chair, sit in the sun and do nothing but ENJOY THIS COFFEE". I don't know what caused it - was it a change to a new coffee, did I somehow magically get it just right or what? Alas, I don't think I get too many moments like that
