Top 10 coffee beans in the world: Which is the most expensive?

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and top-quality coffee beans are even more sought after. These coffee beans usually have unique flavors and tastes, so the price is relatively high. Among the top ten coffee beans in the world, there is one variety that is famous for its high price.

This variety is Indonesian Kopi luwak. It is considered one of the most expensive coffee beans in the world. Indonesian Kopi luwak coffee beans are famous for their unique production process. This coffee is collected from the feces excreted by palm cats (Civet) after digestion.

Although it sounds a bit strange, it is said that palm cats only choose to eat the most mature and best quality coffee cherries, digest them and excrete them. Over time, these fermented and digested coffee cherries will become smoother and have a special aroma.

Because the production process is very unique and labor-intensive, Indonesian Java coffee beans are very expensive. A pound (about 0.45 kilograms) of Indonesian Java coffee beans may cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

In addition to Indonesian Java coffee beans, other top-quality coffee beans also have relatively high prices. For example, "St. Helena COFFEE" is another prestigious top-quality coffee variety produced in St. Helena, a small island in the Atlantic Ocean.

Due to the island’s remote location and the fact that it can only be transported by boat, this scarcity makes San Elmo one of the most expensive coffees on the market. A pound of San Elmo can cost over $100.

In summary, among the top ten coffee beans in the world, "Indonesian Java" is famous for its unique production process and high price. However, other varieties such as "San Elmo" are not inferior, and their scarcity and unique flavor make them the target of coffee lovers.
