Blue mountain seems expensive. Is it worth it, asked by someone who never drank it.

It's great coffee. Worth $30/lb? Debatable. It is thought to be among the best in the world. It's expensive because of low supply and high demand from other markets, primarily the Chinese right now, used to be the Japanese. It's twice as expensive in the US.Originally Posted by DaxShepherd
I am some what of a coffee snob and it is my favorite! I will be picking up 10lbs on my next reach in two weeks. is it worth the cost? that is a matter of opinion. Be ware when buying it in Negril to check the expiration date and they will try to sell you 12oz bags and sell it as a lb
Thanks so much everyone!
i like my coffee....with that said i prefer the blue mountain blend. i little more of the coffee flavor in my opinion then the "real stuff"......and at third of the price
In February almost no Ja Blum anywhere..There are some new brands , Jamaica Blue< for one but it doesn't touch Ja Blum...The coffee market is screwed for good...37 bucks a lb at Hi Lo for unknown brands... Got some from Thunder but it is high mtn......it was worth it for the adventure of the visit...
BE A TRAVELR
At least Thunder's is fresh. What's he charging now? I think it was around $15 last year.
HiLo has some good size shelves filled with Blue Mountain Coffee for sale.......some good choices
mi don't think HiLo has the highest prices.......but they certainly aren't the cheapest either......
if a china mon shop carries it.......they would be about the cheapest.......so shop around

Hi there just my 2 cents worth on the coffee subject.
when we arrived in Negril in Jan. price was 1400 jas for 1/2 lb. of Blue Mountain at the Hi Low. in Feb it went to 2,070 per 1/2 lb. A lb. of BM coffee goes for about 45.00 US. so we went looking pon de road and found out about Thunder's coffee, he brew's his own brand and comes very close to BM cost for a lb. is $20.00 US. Thunder is located across street from Rooms Resort near Miss Sonia's patties, around in the back. Ask for Thunder or Barbra.... great tasting coffee !!
Always irie Andy
I'm a fan of Thunder's coffee @20 a pound. Even better at $28 for 8oz or $56 a pound (expensive but just way better) is The primo stuff from Old Tavern Coffee Estate. Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Proprie.../dp/B004VYJMFA
