Not as smooth as previous Jamaican coffee I've bought. Has a strong tobacco aftertaste and quite harsh. Think I'll go back to Italian espresso.

Amazing beans but can have better packaging

Good roast. Good beans. Up to expectations. But the package (tin) doesn’t contain a one-way valve. After leaving the beans sitting for two weeks to release gas, the packaging inside became very inflated and hard to open

You did everything you said you would do, but the coffee just isn’t to our liking. It’s bad and we don’t understand how it can be rated so high.

Hi David, we’re sorry to hear our coffee wasn’t to your taste. As we specialise in sourcing the world’s rarest and most distinctive origins, their flavour profiles can sometimes differ greatly from more familiar coffees. We’d be happy to recommend other coffees from our collection that you may enjoy more - just let us know.

Wild Jaku Bird Coffee

I had heard about wild jaku bird coffee so I searched online and found this company Sea Island Coffee in UK so I placed an order, I had a bit of trouble as I live in Gibraltar, many online sites do not deliver to Gibraltar, don't know why, but luckily for me Antonia from Sea Island Coffee sorted it out for me. (Many thanks)
I will certainly buy from them again
Highly recommended 100%
I use an Aeropress to brew my coffee, I use a 1 : 15 ratio and a grind of 22 clicks on my Comandante C4
The brew is superb, medium strong, no bitterness at all in the palate amazing
