Anthony Bordain from Travel Channel did a show on Jamaica and he went to the Blue Mountains and did a plantation tour.

I found it interesting that Jamaica is not a coffee consuming country, exports 80% of the Blue Mountain coffee to Japan, 10% to the US, and most of the rest to the remaining buyers, keeping very little in country.

The demand far exceeds the supply.

Personally, I find it good, but not worth seeking and paying the high price.

I'll take most South and Central American beans over JBM any day.
