FrontStreet Coffee · Panama 90+ Perci Ruby Geisha

Origin: Geisha Estate, Panama

Price: Approximately $1000+ per pound

Hailed as the world's finest coffee! 90+ Perci Ruby

This sky-high priced coffee comes from 90+ beans at Geisha Estate in Panama, with even patented processing methods. The method used to process the original beans is called "Ruby Processing," which is a patented method of the famous specialty coffee trader 90+ company. It's said that coffee beans processed using this method exhibit rich and ultimate aromas.

Due to being the champion beans for two consecutive World Barista Championships (WBC) in 2014 and 2015, the double champion halo has firmly established this roasted coffee among the ranks of expensive coffees.

At a certain coffee shop in Shanghai, a small 180ml cup sells for 1010 yuan. The "Perci Ruby," which won the 2014 and 2015 World Brewers Cup Championships (WBrC, World Barista Championship) and runner-up positions, is a specialty coffee priced at approximately 24,000 RMB per kilogram, with a single cup selling for 1010 yuan.

Probably only crazy people or second-generation wealthy who treat money like dirt would drink a cup of this sky-high priced coffee—otherwise, who would be willing to spend so much money on just 180ml of coffee? That's 1010 yuan!
