明らかにする／漏らすd: Britain’s most expensive cup of coffee is £265
Brew is made with rare beans from Japan ? but those who fork out for it should 推定する／予想する few frills
As the price of coffee 急に上がるs, those who wince at 存在 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d £4 or more for their flat white might want to look away now.
Britain’s most expensive cup of coffee, at 発射 ? a small, dimly-lit Mayfair coffee 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業 with marble 塀で囲むs and （米）棚上げする／（英）提議するs ? costs £265.
It is made using typica beans ? a high-質 variety of arabica ? from the Nakayama 広い地所 in Japan.
にもかかわらず the high price, those who fork out should 推定する／予想する few frills, with the brew 利用できる as an espresso, macchiato, flat white, americano, cappuccino or latte ? no different to a 基準 London coffee shop.
Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood, a three-time UK barista 支持する／優勝者 and 創立者 of Colonna Coffee, said it was very unusual for coffee to be grown in Japan, something he 推測するd had 与える／捧げるd to the extravagant price of this drink.
“Hardly anyone grows coffee in Japan,” he said. “It typically grows in the tropics, either 味方する of the 赤道. It’s very hard to grow in places like Japan and probably needs a lot of help.
“Rarity is 明白に sought-after in coffee, and most of the ‘fancy’ coffee people drink is all arabica. Typica, which is what is used here, is not the most sought-after variety of arabica ? I’ve never seen a typica that expensive before ? which 示唆するs the value is coming from the fact that it’s grown in Japan.”
によれば 発射’s menu, its Japanese typica beans are 儀礼 of the Kishimoto family, which has produced the “exquisite coffee” on Okinawa Island since 2015. “This coffee is reflective of the 深く，強烈に-held Japanese value of 努力する／競うing for perfection,” the description on its menu reads.
捕らえる、獲得するs of the rare beans can be bought online and 小売 at £1,480 per キロ ? 示唆するing やめる a markup on the coffee shop’s part. The drink is one of seven of its house special coffees, which 含むs a £70 Savannah Zombie made from beans from Thiotte 地域 of Haiti, and a £32 “St Helena”, from beans produced on the island’s Wrangham 広い地所.
Mr Colonna-Dashwood said 発射’s Japanese coffee was by far the most expensive he had ever seen, 追加するing that it was やめる unusual for such an 排除的 variety to be sold in a coffee shop because they tend to be sold in 捕らえる、獲得するs as collector items.
“The most expensive coffee I’ve seen go at auction before was in パナマ, which 一般に has the most expensive coffee, and that would be about $10,000 a キロ ? which 作品 out at £166 a cup before you put any 利益（をあげる） for the roaster on 最高の，を越す,” he said.
“You don’t 普通は see these coffees in a coffee shop. What you’d 普通は see is a collector or someone buying these coffees. I wonder how many cups of these they’ll 現実に sell.”
However, he said there was “definitely more of an audience for 賞与金 coffee than ever before”.
Another Mayfair coffee shop 以前 （人命などを）奪う，主張するd to have “the most expensive cup of coffee in the UK” for £50, with only 15 servings 利用できる.
Queens of Mayfair was selling coffee made from the award-winning Cup of Excellence from Ethiopia ? the world’s most prestigious 年次の 競争 and auction for coffee ? which it bought at the auction for between £1500-£2,000 a キロ.
