The Most Expensive Coffee in the World Outlined by J. Martinez for Coffee Consumers

    ATLANTA, GA, December 31, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- At up to $600 per pound, Kopi Luwak, or civet coffee, is currently the most expensive coffee in the world. Harvested from the droppings of a cat-like mammal called the Asian palm civet, this coffee is sweet with no hint of bitterness. According to specialty coffee gourmet purveyor J. Martinez, passing through the digestive tract of the civet exposes the coffee beans to enzymes that mellow out their flavor. This natural chemical process results in an excellent cup of extra-smooth coffee and a hefty price tag.

Other expensive coffees include Kona coffee from Hawaii ($34 per pound), Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee ($49 per pound), St. Helena Island coffee from Africa ($79 per pound) and Cup of Excellence grand prize winner El Injerto coffee from Guatemala ($50 per pound).

J. Martinez & Company selects only the finest single-estate coffees from all over the world for its customers to enjoy. Committed to coffee excellence, it is one of only six approved importers of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee in the United States.
