Haitian Blue Organic is grown off the same type of plant as the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. It is described as mellow, smooth, and creamy body, super nutty, almonds, and has a buttery mouthful. It has a low acidity, medium complexity, and a sweet, smooth finish. A flawless cup!
Try before you stock up with a 1/2 pound sample!

Smells and tastes great! Full bodied, very smooth, with a pleasant aftertaste. Roasted beautifully to a dark roast espresso in a Gene Cafe roaster. Removed the beans when the 2nd crack began, and let the beans complete their 2nd crack outside the container, then stirred the beans in front of a fan for quick cooling. Brewed in a Breville espresso machine.

For those interested, Roasted in my Behmor at 1/2 P3 to 1st crack. P4 just through 1st crack. Very Quik Cool. An excellent single origin espresso, and pressed coffee. Recommended. To anonymous April 25, I've been roasting for years. Before moving on to a new bean, try playing with the same coffee in the Behmor a few more times.

Really nice stuff. Roasts beautifully. Expensive but seems equivalent to quality. I’ve been taking it to just under second crack and brewing espresso in a flair press... my favorite bean out of the dozen or so I tried from this company. Too expensive for all the time but a special treat.

This is beautiful! My wife lives it! It is constantly on our re-order list! Very close to Jamaican blue Mountain! I am glad I practice with this (Actually the first time was to my satisfaction as it has been ever since), In preparation of roasting my favorite coffee in the entire world, Jamaican blue Mountain! If you wanted to try something very similar that cost considerably less this is it! If you want to practice on this before you order BlueMountain, great idea! Go Haiti 🇭🇹 and your Fine Haitian Organic Blue!

Really enjoyed this coffee. Definitely has the soft and smooth finish I was looking for in a Caribbean coffee. I bought the Dominican beans along with this one and started blending them. I think I'll stick to the Dominican instead since it's a little cheaper and has nearly the same profile to me.

Absolutely love this coffee. It is Rich but mellow and oh so flavorful. It is definitely a coffee that goes on the favorite list. And kudos to Coffee Bean Corral. You are the greatest!!!

This is an incredibly good, very mellow cup with a fantastic finish that for me lasted 15+ minutes. My go-to bean since I started roasting has been the Federlance Espresso Blend. To compare the two, this is definitely mellower/less bold with a slightly thinner (but still robust body). To me, this is even more balanced than the Federlance Blend and has a longer finish. If I had to stick with just 2 bean types, I would go with this when I wanted a more mellow cup and the Federlance when I was in the mood for a bolder cup. I use a stovetop popcorn popper to roast, roasted this to about halfway through the 2nd crack, and brewed with a French Press (using 12 tablespoons of rounds in a 1 L French press).

Chocolate taste and nutty good strong coffee no aftertaste. Still one of my favorites

Very smooth nutty, not bitter or sour at all. My new favorite (this month) a little pricy but a great value

Beginning roaster. Love coffee. Using a Whirly-Pop popcorn maker. Roasted this to dark roast. Absolutely loved. Top 3 coffees and will buy again. Great taste, smooth, no bitterness. Just perfect

Lot of bang for the buck, especially if you like JBM. I do not use the word “aftertaste,” rather the “finish” doesn’t linger quite as long, yet still tasty. But then again, you don’t pay three of four times as much. And they present as a big, beautiful bean. Bottom line, a lovely coffee with more complexity than cheaper beans, and they taste like, well...great coffee!

I'm not the one to be giving detailed critics, but, I like it a lot! 😀

Tried dozens of different coffees but always come back to this one as one of my favorites

I think this is my wife’s favorite! She constantly ask for this! It was recommended by Kieth of Coffee Bean Corral. Kieth knows Jamaican Blue Mountain is my favorite, not one I can afford but a little bit as a treat for the holidays! He suggested I work my roasts up in practice for my favorite. This is very, very similar and much less expensive. But as I began, I think it is my wife’s favorite as she frequently asks for it by name!

Wow! Excellent bean.

excellent beans, roasted up great

I have been roasting beans for over 10 years and these are among my top two favorites. I understand that this cultivar is the same as Jamaican Blue Mountain. I would recommend a light roast on these to fully capture the mellow flavor of these beans. I end the roast about 10 seconds before first crack ends.

Love this coffee. Did a light roast on it and got notes of brown sugar, cinnamon, and honey. Also made a delicious espresso. Will definitely have to order again.

Very nice, mellow, coffee. I used an old Hottop roaster and let it go to the end of first crack before dropping it to cool. Wait a full 48 hours for degassing of this bean so you can get the full effects of the roast. I took another batch into second crack, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME because it will turn out very oily and charred. I would definitely buy this one again.

It does have a very smooth taste, so for those who don’t care for a “bite” to their coffee or richer flavor, it’s a good recommendation. However, I prefer a deeper, rich flavor...with a “bite”. 😊

Use a Behmor roaster, roast 1/2# at P3 + 3:30. Brew with a Breville dual boiler. Cup starts sweet, full bodied with an aftertaste. Do not have a lot of experience since I started roasting 4 months ago but this is a bean I would purchase again. Will continue to look for a bean which meets all my taste desires.
