Reasonable is relative. JBM used to be unattainable outside Jamaica because
the Japanese bought the entire production every year and they did not share
it. I've had the best JBM you can buy in the states and I must admit it is
not so special I would buy it more than once per year. Those lucky enough
to have drank it fresh from the source and freshly roasted tell me it is a
whole different world. I have never found green JBM beans.
