thats very true. i remember in the 1980's getting hooked on blue mountain
Jamaican. then it wasn't nearly as pricey as it is now. then the imposters
starting showing up. for anyone that hasn't had Jamaican blue mountain, it's
very good if you get the real thing., but its gotta be the real thing, not
some bullshit trying to pass as real. same can be said for Kona. it's gotta
be real.
