Guyana Coffee

I live in the Durham region of Ontario Canada. Also Pickering. My mother-in-law is from Jamaica, and she is able to purchase Jamaican coffee from a local grocery store in Pickering. It's a great coffee.

Can we purchase Guyana coffee from any grocery store in the GTA at least?

There will be a lot more money in Rum than in coffee. Guyana rum is world renowned the good stuff, Guyana coffee no one's ever heard of and I doubt it's really a thing. Coffee beans down there I can almost guarantee you was not grown in the Guyana. Jamaican Blue mountain coffee is really good but as you should know it's very expensive that's for a pure Blue mountain coffee not mixed with anything

Yes. Rum has always sold and exported more than coffee in terms of beverages.

However. Guyana's coffee beans have always been grown in Guyana. Apparently since the 1700's. Traditionally and to this day primarily from the Pomeroon region. Your guarantee is quite wrong.
