Buying coffee to bring home?

[Sparky]

fresh roasted coffee is indeed the key. is it possible to buy some nice green beans of the blue mtn variety to take back to the states for later roasting? id probally also get some fire roasted but me would like to extend the fresh roasted enjoyment factor.

Thunder will be happy to sell Blu Mtn green beans
FYI- it takes about 1.25lbs of green beans for 1lb of roasted beans

A wee bit off topic - but here is an article in today's paper about Marley Coffee: http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/2...business4.html

I bought some Marley Coffee in Vancouver recently at London Drugs (about $15.00. for 340 grams or 12 oz) ... according to package marked "One Love, gourmet medium roast", contains 100% Ethopian Virgacheffe which was roasted in Canada, certified fairtrade organic Arabica coffee. It's good coffee, but would taste better if I was drinking it in Jamaica!
