Starbucks has introduced its most expensive ever coffee – with customers paying

Starbucks has introduced its most expensive ever coffee – with customers paying up to $7-a-cup.

The Costa Rica Finca Palmilera coffee is only available in 48 stores in America.

The premium coffee is made from a rare coffee varietal, known as Geisha, that is found in Central America and is notoriously difficult to grow.

An eight ounce bag (226 grammes) of the whole bean coffee costs customers $40 (£25).

Before the introduction of the Costa Rica Finca Palmilera, the coffee giant’s most expensive variety was Jamaican Blue Mountain.

The coffee is part of Starbucks’ limited edition ‘Reserve’ line and has proven a hit with aficionados.

Would you pay $7 a cup? Not in these times!
