Kona coffee runs about $40 a pound.
It’s excellent, but very pricey.
Jamaican Blue Mountain is also outstanding.

Oh well the next sad story is about coffee...that tears it, stop everything, turn the money spigots back on, restart USAID, rehire all the redundant bureaucrats, bring back all the illegals, put things back they way they were so we can have cheap coffee!!!
If you think things are tough in the country now...just wait, the Lib/Commie/Socialists ain't done fighting.

Jamaica Blue is a whole level above Kona. Kona is good, but yes, pricey. I do recommend it to people who want good coffee but have doubts on conditions in foreign countries.
There is a whole world of great beans . . . Colombian, Papua New Guinea, Kenyan, Sumatra, Tanzanian Peaberry . . . tariffs would likely make Kona more competitive, encouraging more coffee production, and lowering the price. Counter-intuitive, and still higher than what you would pay for a good Colombian even with a tariff, but less than $40/pound. For now, they just grow enough for the wealthy and coffee snobs who probably rotate among several varieties depending on mood, season, and paitings.

You excel at understatement. JBM blows away all other coffees in my book. Not just better but completely blows away. Period. I saw the price, said “yeah right” and bought it disbelieving it could possibly be worth it.
