Does anyone know anything about Jamaican Blue Mountain coffe beans? I read they can sell for $35 a pound, but are difficult to find.

 

slightly out of my price range for beans. i listen to a podcast called coffeegeek. they have a forum on their site. i am willing to bet that someone there could direct you to a place that they had a good ordering experience with.

Then Im guessing youre a coffee nut. I read a fantastic book ("are you really going to eat that?") that explained about the jamaican coffee commission laws. Very interesting reading. This guy owns a plantation in Jamaica that makes the best coffee in the world who's in disagreement with the Jamaican coffee commission (he doesnt like his beans being blended with all the others and getting the same price for his harvest). So he's been sitting on his harvest for the last 8 years 'aging' his beans instead of selling them until he can get the laws changed. You can only buy this stuff from his house. I want to find out when the laws change and where I can buy his stuff when they do!

Anyway, its the blending process which is very ad-hoc in this area of Jamaica (Blue Mountains blend) so you either get the best in the world, or something run of the mill.

Looks like I may have to go to Jamaica......

sounds interesting, i will check it out. i am not a coffee nut compared to some, but i do enjoy a good cup of coffee.

 

i am putting together an order for green beans from Sweet Marie's with a couple guys in our office. i am going to experiment with the home method of roasting beans in a hot air popcorn popper. my results will probably suck compared to what the local shops can do, but it should be fun either way.
