There Here!

Postby Steve » Sun Jul 02, 2006 10:08 am

Those not following the Best of Panama thread in the open house, I bought some of the $50 lb FOB coffee which is the most ever paid at auction for coffee from our Friend Tom Owen at Sweet Maria’s in America. The packs come in three's number 1 2 and 3 and come to a total retail price of $100 for 3 lb of coffee.

They arrived late last week, and I'm not sure what to do with them yet. But its very difficult to stop myself roasting and drinking them now.

I want I want I want.
