I don't want to be hurtful, but I can say that Jamaica coffee is not the world's best, and no serious coffee taster would ever attempt that argument. Yes, for a certain person it could be their own personal favorite because it reminds them of a beautiful place! But judging the cup by itself, without bias, at its best, no!
It is a balanced, mild "island coffee" profile grown at moderate altitude.
To complicate the problems sourcing Jamaican coffee, a lot of coffee sold as Jamaica Blue Mountain has, in the past, not truly been so. It's from adjacent areas that are lower altitude, blended with such, or just other coffee altogether. Sadly, there's an incentive for this due to the huge price difference between "JBM" and nearly every other coffee in the world! But let's respect the coffee for its history, and for what it can be at its best ... not what some "bad actors" have done to it.
