5 Best Coffees Which You’ve Never Heard Of!
No two cups of coffee are brewed the same-some better tasting than others. Here is a list of the five best-tasting coffees from all around the world. These coffees are rare and painstakingly grown, and with their taste come an inversely delicious price! Each coffee is stranger than the last, and the stranger the coffee, the better tasting it becomes.
Kopi Luwak
Kopi Luwak has made itself known to be the most expensive, most delicious, and most sought after coffee in the whole world. Kopi Luwak coffee beans are not picked from the coffee plant however, but from the feces of a raccoon-like animal called an Asian Palm Civet in Indonesia and the Philippines. These civets consume coffee berries, but the beans remain undigested and pass through the civet's digestive tract. Once a predictable spot of defecation is observed, coffee collectors extract the beans from the excrement, heavily wash, purify, and sun dry them.
Kopi Luwak is sold for as much as 0 dollars per pound-and is said to be worth it, because of its rich, chocolaty, musty, exotic, and syrupy flavor and body.
Hacendia La Esmeralda
Hacienda La Esmeralda comes second in the list of most expensive coffees. It is grown on a rare plant called a geisha tree, found in Boquete, Panama. The geisha tree was once ignored, as it grew few coffee beans, and was used to anchor the soil around plantations. Only a few decades ago it was rediscovered and its coffee tried on a whim-when its true specialty recognized. Hacienda la Esmeralda coffee is known for its intense flavor of jasmine and citrus with blueberry. Each brew seems to have a unique flavor-each more intricate and delicious than the last.
Hacienda la Esmeralda averages at 4 per pound, according to Forbes.
Island of St. Helena Coffee Company
Third on the prestigious list of the most internationally sought after coffees is coffee grown in the Island of St. Helena. This coffee was discovered and brought initially to Paris during Napoleon's term of exile in the island. St. Helena's coffee is made from a unique type of bean known as Green Tipped Bourbon Arabica, and is known for its exclusive flavor. St. Helena coffee is valued at an average of 79 dollars per pound.

As its namesake suggests, Jamaican coffee is grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, and is known for its mild flavor and lack of bitterness.
