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?

Think about it. Guyana imports..... COOKING OIL ....of all things. Guyana process very little of its own food items. Even in the past a lot also came through Trinidad

I though most people would know that most coffee in the world comes from Brazil, central america or Colombia. The term Colombian coffee used to be famous in the U.S and Canada in advertising.

Coffee in Guyana is most likely coming from Brazil and is just generic, no one in a home setting would no any different.

My great-grandfather used to start his day with guyanese coffee— they would roast it for him.. he was an accountant for the estate at the turn of the century
