Re: Coffee Reply #125 – October 26, 2017, 12:29:39 am FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS A CUP ? GEISHA COFFEEYesterday I went to the grocery store and brought home four bags bulging with twenty-four bell peppers in four different colors and various other produce. The cost was $16.34. We looked at those bags of groceries lined up in our kitchen, and realized that we could have had three times that amount of produce and still not have reached the cost of ONE CUP of Geisha coffee.If you wonder what I am talking about, you might find this site of interest:Experiencing Geisha, Most Expensive Coffee In The World This video is interesting in that it shows the inner workings of a coffee plantation, including the many processes that the beans go through before they land on the grocery store shelves. The enormous size of the coffee "flights" was intimidating. You can fast forward through the parts where they are just walking through the jungles and looking at the coffee plants at different elevations.Virtual hugs,Judie

It isn't within 100 miles of anywhere we will be in the next 4 months. However, tomorrow we will be driving through Mesquite, NV and it is there at a good liquor store. I also, couldn't believe how many variations of Dragons Milk New Holland makes, quite a list.Jim 2 Likes

Why not add some fries and a nice porterhouseWhile at Tractor Supply Co. for the first time in Placerville Ca getting a barn stall mat to use for levelers my friend came out with this.chocolate-bar-pigs-n-tatersNot quite the same as your fine description but was thinking if they sold coffee it may work for the budget conscious or in need of a quick fix.Rich Meek 1 Likes
