The Top 10 Most Expensive Coffees in the World

Introduction

If you're like me, you've probably spent the last few minutes staring at your coffee maker and wondering: "How much would it cost to get a cup of coffee from the most expensive place in the world?" The answer is $20. And it's not even close. In fact, you'd have to pay more than that for some of these coffees—which is why we decided to dig deeper into what makes them so pricey (and delicious). For this list, we're looking at only single-origin coffees that are 100% Arabica beans (no blends allowed).

Kona Coffee

Kona Coffee is one of the most expensive coffees in the world and it's grown on the Big Island of Hawaii. It has a unique flavor that comes from its rich soil, which is full of minerals and nutrients. Kona is also known for being grown on small farms owned by individual farmers who take pride in their craftsmanship and produce quality coffee beans each year.

Kona has been around since 1825 when King Kamehameha III gave land on Oahu's west coast to Christian missionaries who wanted to start growing coffee plants there. These missionaries didn't know much about farming but they learned quickly from observing local Hawaiians who already had experience growing this crop on other islands such as Kauai or Maui (both also still produce high-quality coffee).

Kopi Luwak

If you're looking for the most expensive coffee in the world, look no further than Kopi Luwak. This Indonesian brew is made from beans that have been eaten and excreted by civets--a small catlike animals native to Southeast Asia.

The process begins when a civet eats a coffee cherry (the fruit surrounding raw coffee beans), then poops out what remains of it later on. These fecal droppings are collected and dried out before being roasted and ground into powder form for consumption as a beverage or food additive.

The price of Kopi Luwak varies depending on its quality but tends toward $100 per pound; however, there have been reports of people paying upwards of $600 per pound!

Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee is a type of coffee grown in Jamaica. It's the most expensive coffee in the world, with each bag costing up to $80. Blue Mountain has a very high caffeine content and acidity level, which means it's not just your ordinary cup o' joe! It also has a smooth flavor with fruity undertones.

Blue Mountain isn't just expensive because it comes from Jamaica or tastes good--it's also rare due to its short harvesting season (only three months out of the year), making it difficult for farmers to grow enough beans for export.

Diamond Rooftop Espresso

The Diamond Rooftop Espresso is a blend of coffee from Ethiopia, Colombia, and Brazil. It's made by the folks at Vivace Coffee Roasters in Seattle, Washington. This coffee costs $55 for about four ounces or $75 for about eight ounces--that's just over $1 per ounce!

The Diamond Rooftop Espresso is made from 100% Arabica beans that have been roasted at high temperatures to produce a dark brown color with hints of caramel and chocolate flavors. The aroma is intense with notes of vanilla and fruitiness that remind me of cocoa powder mixed with ripe cherries or plums on top of freshly baked bread crusts dipped in melted butter followed by some kind of sweet dessert made out of dates (maybe even something like baklava). If all this sounds good then get ready because after smelling it...it gets better:

Sea Salt Caramel Latte

The sea salt caramel latte is a specialty coffee drink that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It's made with espresso, milk, sea salt, and caramel syrup. If you're craving something sweet but don't want to sacrifice taste for calories, this beverage may be the perfect choice for you!

A typical cup of this fancy coffee can cost anywhere from $4 to $10 depending on where it's purchased and what kind of ingredients are used. For example: if you order one at Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts (two popular chains), expect to pay around $5-$6 per serving; however, if you go somewhere fancier like The Mecca Coffee House in New York City then expect about double those prices at roughly $9 - 11 for each cup!

Golden Monkey Coffee

Golden Monkey Coffee is a blend of coffee beans from Vietnam and Indonesia. It is a medium roast coffee with a taste that is fruity and sweet. The blend combines Arabica and Robusta beans, which creates a balanced flavor.

This particular brew has been named after the Golden Monkey, who was said to have lived on the island of Java in ancient times. It was discovered when some farmers were planting their crops one day in 1883 by chance came across some strange-looking animals eating their crops. These were monkeys with yellow fur so they called them "Golongan Emas" or "Golden Monkeys".

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

Jamaican Blue Mountain is a coffee bean grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The beans are handpicked, sorted, and roasted to perfection. It has been described as having a unique taste that cannot be replicated by other types of coffee beans despite their similarities. This makes it one of the most expensive coffees in the world with prices ranging from $80 to $150 per pound depending on where you buy it from and how much you buy at once.

To'ak Chocolate Guya-Tamara, Peru, Organic and Rainforest Alliance Certified Premium Single Origin Bean

This rare coffee bean is grown in the rainforest of Peru. It's a single-origin coffee that has been roasted with cocoa powder, giving it an earthy taste and deep chocolate flavor. If you've ever wanted to try something new, this could be a perfect choice!
