Yaking a different view here...
Is Esme really worth that much? Personally I do not think so and it only reflects something of a craze. Yes Esme is an outstanf=ding coffe (Thanks Steve), but realistically come on...
I think it has been said before, and I agree, how long beofre this great coffee just becomes a 'Mystique' like JMB, which is not that great anyway? Is the hype actually bigger than the coffee?
I cannot and fail to see any reasonable reason why it should fetch such a high price. Of course it reflects the hard work of the farmer and good on him. He is creaming the rewards of his hard work, but does the coffee (Not the farmer) really deserve such a flagrantly inflated price?
Don't shoot me down, I have tried Esme and it is amazing, thankfully I won't ever get to try it again though as it would spoil it for me. Just a different, non 'Lets bow down to Esme' Point of view here.
Can Esme sustain itself?
