And you think Starbucks is expensive? Try Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee at Agata & Valentina in NYC. Some of the best and most expensive coffee in the world.
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee at Agata & Valentina
I know I featured this coffee in one of my previous blogs "I Found it in NYC!.. Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee No. 1" but that was for where I found the coffee being served in a restaurants / cafe. I now know where you can buy this exotic coffee per pound. Get ready to pay a hefty handful for this Jamaican treat. Put it this way... One of Starbucks most expensive coffees is the 10% Kona Blend which runs $14.95 per lb. I found this Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee at Agata & Valentina in NYC for $45.00 per lb. Not only that but you can also get the real deal Kona here for $30.59 per lb. Not that 10% blend crap at Starbucks. On a side note: They also have an excellent Oreo Cheesecake there just in case you are looking for a lil sweet to go with your coffee.

Agata has much more then just a great selection of coffee. Agata & Valentina is definitely one of the best places to go for high quality specialty Italian foods and is a must visit for all foodies. The also have a wide selection of cheeses and already prepared dishes as well as all sorts of goodies. They are also one of the few place in America that have Jamón ibérico de bellota! ($100+ per pound) The best cured ham in the world! I am gonna have to write about that next!

Sure is expensive but definitely worth it.

It's not as expensive as Kopi Luwak but definitely not as gross and damn tasty! I guess if I invented Kopi Luwak and had to dig up animal shit then I would make that crap expensive as well!
