If you go to the Taj Mahal shopping area, which is gated and only for tourists, you'll be safe and can shop around in comfort. It's only about 2 blocks from the cruise ship pier and the only place I recommend. I just talk to the managers and tell them what I'm interested in and how many, then we negotiate. I've purchased it from several of the stores - depending on who's having a slow day and wants to bargain. So I don't have any one place that's better than another - I try to spread the wealth around.

But often we'll get a one-day pass at an all-inclusive resort and then make a deal with one of the workers, since they can always get it for less than we can. Just make sure you specify that you want JABLUM and nothing else. There are other brands that are not all that good, but JABLUM is by far the best.

Make sure you pay attention to the the expiration date at the bottom of the label from JABLUM. The date represents one year from the roasting date (hint)

My name is Gary, I have been working with JABLUM for 11 years, I am the Marketing & ECommerce Officer, feel free to ask me any question about coffee or about Jamaica.

Thanks Gwiz! We love your coffee. It's so darned expensive here that we have to settle for less most of the time.

I agree, Hanna!

As I sit here with a cup of coffee trying to overcome the cobwebs caused by last night's party, I would love nothing more than a great cup of JABLUM!!

Just too bad we can't get it here without paying an arm & leg for it. Guess I'll have to bribe one of my clients to pick us up some on their next trip to Jamaica.

Pete,
Double bribe them and I'll pay up for a couple of pounds. Sure does sound good.

Arrow Reporting Back!

Thanks ... EVERYONE ... for your helpful suggestions!

REPORTING BACK:

We bought our friends Blue Mountain Coffee from RUM, ROASTS, and ROYALS in Island Village (so close to the ship)!

Can't say enough nice things about RUM, ROASTS, and ROYALS! Really nice place and seemed to be more interested in telling us about the coffee than selling it to us. ( MUCH more than I ever wanted to know about coffee! )

They were even suggesting we start with the less expensive blends.

Finally, my DH said what we really wanted were four bags of the BEST one. They offered us small bags (just telling you this so you'll know they were NOT pushy) ... but, told them we wanted the larger bags.

These folks KNOW their coffee ... but would probably never would have hired them to work for us as sales people!

Not everyplace in Jamaica is what is normal on "the streets" there.

But you never mentioned the brand you ended up buying! I hope it was JABLUM from Mavis Bank - that is the best. And what did you pay for it? Should have been no more than $15 per 1-pound bag. But most of all, how do you like the coffee???

I have a client going there next week and he promised to bring me back a couple of pounds - can't wait!!
