Verdict in on Christchurch cafe's $100 coffee

Coffee connoisseurs wanting to try a Christchurch cafe's "rare" $100 cup of joe will have to be quick, with a third already sold by breakfast. The coffee comes from Mt Totumas in Panama, and was bought through Panama's premium coffee auction. It has scored 96.2 out of 100, putting it in the ultra-premium category, with floral, clean and acidic flavour notes. Rook cafe co-owner Kyle Cabangun told Breakfast they only had 200g - enough for around 14 or 15 cups - and that five had sold already. "The 200 grams that we have is the only 200 grams we can get, and we won't be able to get more of this specific coffee, there's just no more of it," he said. Cabangun said the beans were "very high quality and very hard to get". "A rare coffee, I suppose, which is why it's so expensive," he explained.
