Supposed to be the best. Has anyone tried it? It sure is pricey.

I have not, but I have seen it at tj maxx and marshalls and it's going to be cheaper there. That's if you want try but not spend as much

I have. Whenever we were in Jamaica years ago, brought some back with me. It's very good stuff.

But for the record, the best coffee in the world is Lewak coffee from Indonesia. Don't google how it's made, just drink it and enjoy.

Had it once, it was good, not sure if it is worth the $

My favorite is pea berry kona from Hawaii, flavorful and smooth

Coffee snobs. Drink community and shut up. Damn hipsters with tour coffee talk. LOL

Good stuff.

Knew a guy in State Dept who served in the embassy in Jamaica. He brought us back the real stuff twice. I am glad he is elsewhere now, but I miss the free coffee.

If you can ever get beans from Zimbabwe, they are very good too.

I used to work for a coffee company, the buyers there said you'll never be sure it's the real stuff its so rare. Not worth the money IMHO just saying

Best coffee I've ever had. I used to buy a pound to take home with me every Christmas but at some point the store where I bought it started selling something else as Blue Mountain. I confronted them about the change and they insisted there was no change so I stopped giving them my business. I haven't had it in probably a decade or longer. But man was that stuff good.

I had it in Jamaica a couple of times. Very good and worth it when fresh. I've had some in the states and was never as impressed. Maybe it was due to it not being as fresh. Maybe it wasn't the real thing. I wouldn't bother with it here. There are lots of others that, for whatever reason, taste better here.

It is the only coffee I really like. Chances are if you find it at TJ Max it's not legit. Blue Mountain is only made by a handful of brands that farm at certain elevations. Others call it Jamaican coffee but it's not the same. Different soil. Lower elevations. Even most of the Marley coffee is from other countries. When I go I stock up.

Kona is similar soil and farming conditions so I'd imagine it's very good as well.

Had it while we honeymooned in Jamaica. It was super strong, and as a result this is what my a-hole felt like right after I drank it.
