A company not known to shy away from expensive coffees, Australian-born Proud Mary Coffee is launching its most expensive coffee ever.
In fact, the coffee may be the world’s most expensive microlot to date. The winner of last year’s prestigious Best of Panama coffee competition, the 100-pound “Black Jaguar Geisha” green coffee lot from renowned producer the Hartmann Estate earned just over $2,000 per pound at a global auction.
Proud Mary was among a consortium of buyers from throughout the world to purchase the winning lot, and now the Australian company is bringing it to the United States market in roasted and brewed form.
The cost to taste this winning coffee is $150 per cup.
