Definitely my favorite by far, but I'm not a huge coffee guy. What do you more experienced folks think. It's expensive here, but its cheap in Jamaica.

i think you have to be careful buying JBM in JA as everyone sells it,

, kind of like selling cigars on the street in Havana

, JBM is a decent but mild cup, have gotten a reliable source that has some great peaberry. comes strait from the farm, some picks in my User Gallery,

Good coffee if you like a clean, mild cup. Radically overpriced IMO.

The Costco here where I live now sells the beans for a resonable amount. Also in JAM you do have to be careful with buying beans and smokes there as they are really conterfeited.

My thoughts exactly. Definitely overpriced, and although a very nice coffee, to me, it's overrated. It is also a very mild cup. But I like it anyway.

I agree with Ted also. The source is EXTREMELY important when it comes to JBM. I've had very poor quality and very good quality. People I've known have purchased green beans for me from different places as gifts when they were down there and the quality, for the most part, was not very good.

I assume you're buying already roasted coffee. If so, I would highly recommend sticking to coffee that says "Mavis Bank" somewhere on it or in the description. As far as commercial coffee, the Mavis Bank is the highest quality. Mavis Bank is not a type of JBM or a farm, but a mill/processor that purchases coffee beans from the are plantations. They have a reputation for only dealing with the finest quality beans. When you're paying that much for JBM coffee, it's as good a guarantee as you'll get that it's of the finest quality. As was said, there is alot of JUNK out there masquerading as good JBM.

This is a very mild coffee, and as stated, wildly overrated and over priced as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't spend good money on it when I can buy upwards of five pounds of something I REALLY like for the same price as one pound of JBM.

The problem with the JBM reputation is this: The time period when JBM was proclaimed BIW was at a time where milder-med coffee was in vogue. These days with all the coffee shops selling different varieties of much stronger & richer coffee, the weak-mild sutff is no longer in vogue

I don't think TODAY that coffee conasewers would NOT chose JBM over Sumatra & others in a blind test.

That best in the world is old news and is no longer valid with today's coffee drinkers. They prefer a richer/stronger coffee.

I have had some superb JBM but it's not BIW for me.

gppd news on Rastaman peaberry, i managed to get an extra 30lbs, from Leroy's friend who lives here, to see if anyone was interested in trying it coffee is in the US and in an effort to help rebuild Leroy's roof(he is the Jamacian Rastman)
i bought 10 poundsof it, that is why there is only 30lbs left. here's the deal. the cofffee is being sold on a sliding scale from 23-25 dollars depending on if you want to help leroy out a bit more, see my user gallery for photos of the process. we missed getting more as it was sild to Mavis Banks for them to mox and sell under their name, this is an altruistic mission and the reward is JBM peaberry, s&H not included so if you are interested in the Coffee and in helping in a small way to rebuid jamaica after the hurricane, PM me andwe'll take are ofit that way. there is a 2lb minimum, due to shipping cost andsending oit so many boxes.
