When we are in Canberra we always have a coffee or ten with our coffee-loving Daughter at one of the 'ONA' cafes.
For my birthday she surprised me with a pack of this:

Other than the variety "Geisha" the product is unknown to me and I wouldn't even be telling you about it if it were not for the astronomical price .
The 200g bag I received direct from the retailer was accompanied by a copy of the invoice for $72. - which runs out at $360./kilo.
Now I know Andy has/has had Jamaica Blue Mountain and another Geisha variety on Beanbay (a lot cheaper) and whilst I appreciate my Daughter's thoughtfulness in giving me something unusual and expensive I do wonder what (if anything) justifies this kind of price for a bean.
(I am wondering if I am going to be able to do justice to it on my Diadema - there WILL be NO failed shots!)

do you have any preconceived expectations? As in maybe blow your taste buds outta your head or just another exceptionally nice coffee?
