Ok I will never understand why people spend so much money on things like this but this coffee is one of the most expensive in the world.  Not because of the country of origin, or anything you may think of off the top of your head.  No this one is expensive because of they way it’s “produced”..Hopefully I can get through this.  This coffee can not be produced until it is eaten by a certain animal and that animal is the mongoose. Once the coffee bean passes through the mongoose and is ….um harvested, then production can begin..Um even if I had the money for a $120 bag of coffee, they can keep it.
