What I’m Drinking – Jamin Java From Marley Coffee
by Mike on August 17, 2009 in Coffee Reviews
The Drink: Jamin Java from Marley Coffee
Type: Whole Bean
Roast/Body: Full City Roast with a Full Body
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
The next stop in my Marley Coffee adventure is Jammin Java, an organic dark roast coffee with a nod to Bob Marley’s song Jaming. I can’t promise that this coffee will have you dancing around your kitchen, but it woke me up on a gloomy Monday morning and made me feel like nothing could stop me – besides empty mugs.
The first thing to hit me was the dark and smoky aroma that rose out of my coffee cup and into my nose. It was the smell of a simmering campfire, the glowing coals the next morning, relaxing with a warm feeling.
The taste was anything but relaxing. The bold, dark taste was strong enough to wake me up instantly. At the same time, it was unexpectantly smooth. Many dark roasts that I’ve tasted had a bitter taste, but this one had just a hint of bitterness with the first sip.
I’m not usually a fan of dark roasts, but I enjoyed this one because it lacked the burnt taste and the flavors weren’t roasted out of it. A warm chocolate taste, like a cup of hot chocolate greeted my tongue. There was also a hint of a woody flavor that gave it a mature feeling.
This coffee left a crisp fresh feeling taste on my tongue after every sip. It was a taste worth savoring and made me look forward to the next sip.
Jamin Java earned a four out of five rating. It’s one of the better coffees that I’ve tasted in the last few months. I would’ve liked it even more if it was a little less dark, but if you like darker roasts, you have to try this one.
It’s now my second favorite from Marley Coffee, the first being Mystic Morning. As I said, there’s not many dark roasts that I like, in fact I avoid them because many are so over roasted, but this one makes me want to go out and try others.
The next destination in my Marley Coffee adventure is their organic Swiss water decaf, Simmer Down. I’m nervous about this one, I drink coffee for the taste and the caffeine benefits. I’ve never had decaf willingly, but if it’s like the other Marley Coffees, I have nothing to fear.
Jammin Java is sold for $16.99 at the Marley Coffee website.
