Perk up to Mountain Bliss 876.

SHOW ME someone who has an early morning, a late night or is in a stressful situation and I can show you some coffee brewing in his or her wake. Coffee, over the years, has become the perfectly cupped stimulant for inspiratio­n, so if you’re a light-hearted drinker or a diehard coffee addict, then Food has a treat for you! Perk up! to the Mountain Bliss 876.

According to commercial and corporate affairs manager of Salada, Tamii Brown, Mountain Bliss 876 is a new brand to Salada, made from agglomerat­ed coffee crystals, which makes it a different kind of coffee from the average brands.

“Jamaican consumers are more experiment­al with how they drink coffee, so we wanted to find a flavour profile that fits palates,” Brown told Food.

They carry two unique flavours: classic, a mix of two beans (arabica and robusta beans), which has lighter taste matching their popular competitor­s.

And the gold, made of 100 per cent arabica beans, has a stronger, brewed flavour, that is not only mellow and rich but smooth on taste bud delivery. “It can be had hot or cold. It dissolves just as great in cold water as it does in hot and you can have it day or night, or even before the gym as a pickeruppe­r,” Brown added.

Mountain Bliss 876 can be found in all major supermarke­ts and outlets islandwide at a very affordable price. So if you want a smooth coffee that can be consumed black or mixes well with creamer, then the classic and gold are the way to go. But don’t take my word for it: Mountain Bliss 876 had a tasting at The Gleaner Company and the employees had this to say about the flavours:
