Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

It's a Marcus episode! As a coffee podcast, we thought it important to maybe tell the story of coffee itself so we asked our resident expert to weigh in. When a friend sent us a bag of Jamaican Blue Mountain that she picked from the Island in the same week Marcus roasted some JBM for another friend, an episode was serendipitously born.Marcus tells us the tale of the history of coffee, its many harrowing tales of smuggling and deceit, and we compare Marcus's roast to the roast of Jamaica. Who will win JBM Wars?"Oh thank god we're finally doing a good coffee episode."Further media:https://www.livehistoryindia.com/story/living-culture/the-curious-case-of-coffeehttps://blog.mcmenamins.com/gabriel-de-clieu-the-man-who-brought-coffee-to-the-new-world/https://www.zocalopublicsquare.org/2020/05/28/jamaican-uprising-samuel-sharpe-rebellion-christmas-uprising-great-jamaican-slave-revolt/ideas/essay/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTDy-L0NKIgHelp us buy questionable coffee by supporting us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/nobadreviewspodSponsored by Modest Coffee!
