Plantation Blue 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee — Ground, 16oz. The same 100% JACRA-certified Blue Mountain coffee as the whole bean flagship, pre-ground and ready to brew. Roasted in small 12kg batches for freshness, vacuum-packed with a one-way valve before it leaves Jamaica. Brews 50–60 cups — this bag goes further than it looks.
Smooth and well-balanced, with subtle notes of chocolate and fruit, gentle sweetness, mild acidity, and a clean finish. Not a dark roast — no aggressive punch, no burnt character. The kind of cup that doesn’t need sugar or milk to work, but doesn’t object to either.
Why it costs what it does: The certified Blue Mountain growing region covers roughly 6,000 acres — one of the smallest certified origin regions on Earth. Steep terrain, hand-picked cherries, and a harvest small enough that most of it never leaves Jamaica. Japan purchases the majority of each year’s export allocation; what reaches the US is a smaller share of an already limited supply. JACRA certification verifies 100% Blue Mountain origin — without it, a bag labeled “Blue Mountain blend” may contain as little as 5% actual Blue Mountain coffee. This is not a blend.

Brew methods: Drip (clean and consistent — the natural format for pre-ground; balanced profile translates well at standard brew strength), French press (full immersion brings out the chocolate and fruit more distinctly; works well black), pour-over (medium pre-ground works well; whole bean and fresh grind preferred for maximum clarity)

Vendor: Plantation Blue Coffee
The 16oz ground is the highest-yield format in the Plantation Blue lineup — 50–60 cups, pre-ground, no equipment needed beyond a brewer. If you have a grinder, the whole bean formats preserve freshness longer and give you more extraction control. If you’re choosing between the 12oz and 16oz ground: the 12oz dark roast is chocolate-forward and bolder; this 16oz is smoother, more balanced, and more fruit-forward — a different profile, not just a different size. Roast level not explicitly specified by the roaster — the tasting profile indicates medium to medium-light.
