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.

A few years ago there was a fad out of Indonesia or somewhere in the Pacific Rim area. Cat Scat Coffee. There is a large feline animal that eats coffee beans, which pretty much pass through and out again undigested. But when those fecal beans are roasted, ground and brewed, the result is reported to be sublime, and priced as such.

And so the pretentious California Nuevo Rich libtard signals the host and says “Oh, Coffee Sommelier, I’ll have one with LOTS of cream and sugar...”

In a scene from the TV show “Elementary,” Holmes ( Jonny Lee Miller ) is making some of that coffee. Holmes ( Lucy Liu ) enters and asks what smells so bad. He explains to her about the civit coffee and would she like to try some. Her response,

“No thanks. I had poop for lunch.”

😂😂😂😂😂!! And so the libtard coffee house owner proudly advertises bottomless cups. And snickers at the coffee kabal he's placed on the competition down the street.

It wasn’t a miss, so much as a follow-up shot

That and Hawaii Kona are the best I have had.

Good luck finding the Kona. Most places carry a Kona blend. If the price is anywhere near the Comlumbian or Papua New Guinea, you know there isn't a lot of Kona. At the Fresh Market I asked how much Kona was in the Kona "blend". Two clerks and one relayed message frpm the manager later, I was told it was a proproetary trade secret. Translation: "Not Much".

I never was a coffee drinker. I used to drink almost nothing but caffeinated soft drinks (Coke/Dr. Pepper) since being a toddler. Gallons a day. When I got really ill, I had to stop cold turkey and switch to fruit punches. I had a headache that lasted for two months when I quit the caffeine, ugh.

Ok, so two snipers fire bullets the second shot fired long before the first one hits, and the second one hits a vital organ before the effect of the first one is known. Who gets credit for the kill?
