Pure Kona Supreme is about 50$-55$ per pound, while real true (not the fake crap) Jamaican is $75-$80 per pound.
When I buy Jamaican it's typically just 1 cup in a French Press. The Kona Blends I buy are from a trusted shop that blends them in-house, and uses 25% Kona.
Folgers is Robusta, not Arabica. The taste difference would be hugely noticeable.
