"Kopi Luwak" is the cat feces coffee that is popular in China. It is a coffee that has been fermented by the stomach of a civet and has a special flavor. Its production is rare and its price is expensive. It was once honored as "coffee supreme" and "most expensive coffee". However, these titles no longer belong to cat feces coffee. If you think that the price of 268 yuan for a cup of cat feces coffee is ridiculously expensive, sorry, cat feces coffee has been pulled down from the throne of "sky-high price" by one new rich.

The most expensive coffee in the world.

NO.1 Name 90+ Company Lot #227

Region: 90+ Panama Estate

Price: In this year's sensational online auction for green coffee beans, 90+ company's #227 batch ended up setting a record price of US$5000 per kilogram.

This coffee was created by Jose Alfredo, who is responsible for processing raw beans from El Salvador to 90+ Panama Estate, and Chad Wang, who won the World Coffee Hand Brewing Championship in 2017.

The description for #227 is:

"Fully ripe bright red fruits are manually picked, screened out size and water washing, and then fermented in a confined space at a low oxygen temperature, which is controlled at a low room temperature, that is, while blowing cold air to make coffee.

It is soaked in clean water and fermented for about 72 hours, followed by sun drying. It is about 1 to 2 layers thick on the sun bed, and after 21 days of sun exposure, it can complete a completely different unique flavor!"

During the 72 hours of fermentation, was the yeast distributed in the environment naturally captured or specifically selected? In fact, in the 2017 90+ global network standard batch, there are as many as five or six items produced by Jose Alfredo. Friends who have tried it reflect that some of the items have obvious tofu or soy sauce flavor characteristics. It is believed that different fermentation methods have been introduced in the post-production process.

NO. 2 Name 90+ Outlook Ruby Rose Summer

Origin: Panama's Crescendo Estate

Price: Approximately $1000 + per pound

The best coffee in the world! 90 + Outlook Ruby

This expensive coffee comes from 90+ beans from Panama's Château de la Crescencia, and even the processing method is patented. The method used to treat the raw beans is called "ruby treatment", which is also a patented method of the famous boutique coffee trader 90+ Company, and it is said that the coffee beans treated with this method will show rich and extreme aroma.

Because of the champion beans of the World Barista Competition (WBC) for 2 consecutive years in 2014 and 2015, the double champion aura makes this ripe bean stand firmly on the expensive coffee list.

At a coffee shop in Shanghai, a small 180ml cup costs 1010 yuan. Perci Ruby, which won the 2014 and 2015 World Barista Championships, is a boutique coffee that sells for about 24000 yuan per kilogram and 1010 yuan per cup.

It would probably be a madman or a rich second generation who valued money like dirt to drink a cup of expensive coffee-otherwise who would want to pay so much for a cup of coffee with only 180ml? That's $1010!

NO . 3 Name Emerald Manor Sunlight Group Red Label Rose Summer

Sophia Manor Background

In 2008, Willem Boot bought an extremely high altitude estate from Ricardo Koyner, owner of Catawá Estate, and named it Finca Sophia, located in the Panamanian town of Volcan.

At an altitude of 1,900-2,150 meters, Villa Sofia is one of the highest coffee estates in Central America. From the day Sophia Manor was founded, William and his partners have been trying to explore the highest altitude boundaries of growing the world's finest coffee.

Named after Sophia, the goddess of wisdom in ancient Greek mythology, the estate's logo is based on a highland pigeon (Torcaza in Spanish) that inhabits the estate. The estate is owned by William and his partner Equator coffee roaster from the United States. It is managed by Panamanian coffee farm operators.

There was an episode in the preliminary competition of washed rose summer, and a senior judge from the United States questioned in the discussion that this coffee, which won 93+ points from the 12 judges, should be a honey-treated coffee, because its complex flavor and high sour and sweet balance make people suspect that this is not the taste of the coffee itself, but the flavor brought by the treatment method, but the result reveals that this is a completely washed rose summer, all amazing flavors come from the plant itself. Flavors described by the judges include intense orange blossom, peach, ripe grape, blackcurrant, bright citrus acid, berry, sparkling acidity, syrupy mouth feel and a long finish.
