Back in the early '90s, I stayed a time or two with an old friend James Dennis who had a small coffee plantation and a guest accommodation (very rustic) near Hardwar Gap in the Blue Mountains. "Baps" (as I called him) was an old man then so he has probably passed but he grew what many consider to be the finest "coffee on Earth". I can't say that but it was black and syrupy and awfully strong. I wrote about my stay there one time and will try to look it up for anyone interested. Anyways, here is a link to a National Geographic Adventure story about him. http://adventure.nationalgeographic....om-clynes-text
He never produced enough to really go commercial with it but did supply a few aficionados with a private stash. He introduced me to the Wallenford plantation and, in fact, he did often sell them some of his beans. Wallenford is the only Jamaican Coffee I purchase now and it is quite expensive as well. They always "sell out" all they produce so it doesn't stay on the shelves long enough to go stale. Here is a link to them http://shop.wallenford.com/
Some things I look for bargains when purchasing but I am willing to pay the price for the best.
Hope this helps someone get some good coffee next time.
Peace and Guidance
