Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

I'm sure there will be guys who have much better insight than I do, but my understanding is that the "cheap stuff" would only have a minimal amount of Blue Mountain in it, and then the rest would just be other, cheap coffee. Blue Mountain is not cheap stuff, but I think it is delicious! I would only buy from a reputable vendor, and skip out on the fleabay auctions! Good luck!

that is my understanding also. they are a 'blend' ... usually 30% or less of actual jamaican blue mountain coffee.

That's not to say they are not good ... drink what you like, not what's most expensive.

this is a blend ($11 / 2lb)

this is 100% jamaican blue mountain ($35 / 1lb)

I've never tried it, but Norman at Uncle Beanz carries it and he is reputable in my book

over the past few years they have also under went a name change and package change. even in Jamaica there are two different types of blue mountain coffee. I was going to buy some and didn't because of this new packaging. the one I found to have the best flavor is the one in the cloth bag and not the vacuum packed one. In Canada it goes for about 40 to 50 dollars a pound. I would stay away from the cheap stuff, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

+1 for Norman and Uncle Beanz. He will tell you exactly what you want to know as well if you just send him a pm. He is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Good vendor here, but looks like no matter what vendor you use high $30.00s is the pricing norm.
25# for $900 = $36 per pound.....
