Talk:Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

[edit] Wikification and other edits

I've wikified this page, cleaned up dead links, and removed a couple of things. I removed the line about having to travel perilous Jamaican cliff-side roads to have the coffee roasted over an open fire in a frying pan. Without getting into the merits of roasting in a frying pan, there's certainly no need to go to Jamaica for that.

I also removed the information about pricing. The price of JBM varies widely in the US and elsewhere. Low quality JBM can be had for as little as ~$25 (maybe even less if you're gullible). I'll add back in information about its relative expensiveness.

There's a fair amount of other information in this article that needs verification. I'm going to try to track this down soonish. ScottW 14:59, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wallenford Coffee Company and JBM region

Upon further review, the statement about Wallenford Coffee Company being the only outlet for buying JBM coffee is false. Also the definition of where JBM coffee can be grown is also not entirely accurate. Unfortunately, the Jamaican government site at which the various JBM regulations are posted is no longer available. I'll update this information if I can find a source. ScottW 15:37, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reorganized and added verifiable information

I've removed information that I found to be either false or unverifiable. I've replaced these statements with information from the Jamaican government and from the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe. Unfortunately, the Jamican government site is returning 404 errors, so I've linked to the site via archive.org. If the real site comes back up, it will be worth relinking to that. There is a fair amount of good information there. ScottW 16:52, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
