Luxury lattes: Starbucks'Geisha'coffee $7 a cupimage via Starbucks Already viewed by many as a symbol of prosperity, high end coffee company Starbucks has upped one themselves, rolling out their most expensive coffee yet. The new brew, named Costa rica Finca Palmilera and made from a rare kind of coffee called Geisha, costs $7 for 16oz--a grande in company lingo. A tall, the smallest size, costs $6. The high price is a result of the fact that Geisha is very difficult to grow due to conditions in high-altitude farms in Costa rica where it's cultivated. The availability of this coffee is limited very and 450 half-pound bags of a differently-named Geisha coffee sold out just 24 hours after becoming available on the company's website. Those bags cost $40 each. The coffee is only available for purchase at locations in the Northwest United states. Each of those 46 locations is equipped with a special Clover Brewing Machine. via TIME, Washington post Related on Smartplanet: Dunkin'Donuts: not the best coffee in America Will coffee soon be a thing of the past?
