    Blue Mountain - The Serious Stuff

    SHE wants to know how much Blue Mountain we can bring back with us...and how difficult (re: Expensive) it is to ship? As a non-coffee drinker...I'd rather swap it for a bottle of rum...but said I'd ask.

    I believe it was around $28 per lb. maybe a little more , not sure how much you can bring home but we had 3lbs with us and no problem. I am a coffee drinker, working the midnights for 8 yrs will do it to ya, but simply the best coffee I have ever had, enjoy.

    I was NOT a coffee drinker until 10/6/06. That was my first trip to Jamacia. I tried the coffee and now I am offically a coffee drinker.

    You too will be a coffee drinker if you try it!

    I picked up 3 lbs. of whole beans at Selina's in Negril for $20 each last week. Limit on import is probably the duty limit of about $500pp. Duty limit of liquor is 1 liter pp, but we brount back 2 ltr each without a question.
    I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was.

    At the airport, 5# regular roast whole bean is $95 and dark roast whole bean $98---this was on Feb 28, 2009! I don't purchase ground coffee so didn't look at those prices. In the states, it can go up toward $90 a POUND !!!!!!!!!! At the resort is was $17 for half pound bag.

    And YES it is that good!

    We pick our beans up in Negril at Sunshine Market. We have brought back as much as 15 pounds at a time. The more you buy the better the price per pound. We paid $18 a pound last November. Be sure the coffee has the 'official' seal for Blue Mountian. You will find many blends with Blue Mountain in the Name but is not made with Blue Mountian Beans.

    go to ebay, greatcoffeehouse, ship directly from Wallenford estate (The best of the blue mtns). We get 5 lbs, of peaberry, and Love it.... the shipping is expensive, but so is the coffee, and we've been coffee snobs ever since our first cup in 1996!!! I've tried alot of good coffee's from hawaii, and other exotics, but nothing and i mean nothing is as great at 100% blue mountain....(I hear they grow some other great stuff in Jamaica too..... LOL)
