Klatch Coffee Roasters has procured 10 pounds of the exclusive Elida Natural Geisha coffee to split among its Southern California stores. At $1,200 a pound after roasting, each hot cup will cost a cool $75.
The unroasted coffee is imported from Panama and set a world record price of $803 per pound at the Best of Panama coffee competition. It’s available only from Klatch Coffee in North America.
The coffee company says Geisha is a rare variety of Arabica coffee that came to Panama from a research lab in Costa Rica, with origins in Ethiopia. It’s known for its floral, tea-like and stone fruit flavors.

I had thought that the best coffee would be a Jamaica Blue Mountain ... why Panama? I also thought that the most expensive coffee was the one made with monkey poo.
Made with Transgender Coffee Beans.
It would be just drinking the most expensive cup of bile to me.
Not worth the price, even if I was a coffee drinker.
Are those certified organic, free-range, and cruelty-free transgender coffee beans?
Seventy-five dollars a cup?
That’s peanuts compared to ‘civet cat’ coffee,
which goes for twenty-five dollars a GRAM.
The story of kopi luwak has a certain repulsive charm. A shy cat-like wild creature wanders out of the Sumatran jungle at night onto a coffee plantation and selects only the finest, ripest coffee cherries to eat. Only it can’t digest the stone (the coffee bean) and craps them out, its anal glands imparting an elusive musky smoothness to the resultant roasted coffee.
“It’s very smooth – um, good taste,” said one customer at Klatch’s recent event in San Francisco.
“Wow. Packs a punch,” another customer said.
I check my beans, and if they haven’t been beaten, I beat them. Makes coffee taste GOOOOOD!!!
There was a super expensive coffee a while back where the beans were plucked from some kind of squirrel poop. Supposedly passing through the squirill (or whatever critter it was) enhanced the coffee in some wonderous way. None for me, thanks.
I thought it was made from beans that were first consumed and then pooped out by a weasel.
Some guys I work with all chipped in and bought a tiny bag of the poop coffee and made a small pot. I tried a sip and have to say I didn’t think there was anything real special or different about it.
CIVET..............

Civet then sip it..................
One really can’t truly enjoy a cup of coffee unless it has been sh*t out of a civit.

That and Hawaii Kona are the best I have had. I did have a great coffee in Argentina. It was served in an espresso cup. I laughed and asked for a regular sized cup. Took a day and a half to come down from the rush.
And doesn’t taste as good as Hills Brothers.
