OK... I've got some sources, but for reference...
What's the going rate for Blue Mountain (the real stuff... beans) at the MBJ duty-frees?

Bump... hoping for some buying recent experience at MBJ...
The stuff at the airport is the lowest quality beans available. Buy from a local roaster. Better quality, better price.

Sorry, Ras... not really the answer I was hoping for. I'm not looking for junk coffee... has to have seal, so I'd only go with the JaBlum, Wallenford, etc.
I'm sure the local roasters do a great job, but there is no accounting for where they get their beans. If its a local roaster I want, Victor Allen's production facility and national distribution center is located less than 5 miles from here.
Thanks for the input though. Appreciate the suggestion.
I’ve done extensive research on the subject. The stuff, even under seal, that is available in the gift shops and airport are the lowest quality beans. Both Thunder and Big Roy custom roast single estate, whole crop blue mountain coffee. Not high mountain. Even gift shop or high mountain are still good. But I’m a bit of a coffee snob.

Sorry Chris...I've never bought coffee at the airport so I can't help you with the price....and funny enough I agree with both you & RasW about the coffee.
I did have some delicious Mountain Peak today....
$46lb in March. Buy from Thunder @$25lb.Originally Posted by Chris B
this isn't particularly helpful because this thread is about looking for good coffee beans at the airport, but we got excellent coffee beans on our way from strawberry hill to boston bay. i think we paid $20 for a pound (my husband made the transaction).
duggy, the coffee guy, also had a roadside outdoor restaurant that was surprisingly filled with tourists. and he rents rooms by a pretty river.
i have his contact info if anyone wants it.
