And now, for some completely different coffee
The boys at Transcend coffee have laid their hands on 20 pounds of Hacienda La Esmeralda, which will be arriving soon. Forbes magazine listed this as the second most expensive coffee in the world:
“Hacienda La Esmeralda’s Geisha coffee set an online auction record when it sold for over $50 dollars per pound, unroasted, on May 30, 2006. The coffee, which is grown in the shade of old guava trees, has been widely and enthusiastically praised for its flavour and aroma. In April, it placed first in the SCAA “Best of Panama” competition, with a score of 94.6 out of 100.”
If you want to try some of this coffee, Transcend is offering it in 1/2–pound quantities for $35 Canadian. It’s first-come, first served, so you better hurry. It will also be available by the cup at the shop. Check the Transcend blog for notice of when that will be available.
You can read more about the coffee at the Hacienda La Esmeralda website.
