You may be familiar with R. Miguel Meza of Paradise Roasters and there is some exciting news to share. Miguel has created a new company, R Miguel Coffee, and it is about to unleash some of the most unique coffees ever offered. Miguel talks about these new products:

"R. Miguel coffees are the highest quality, most unique, most expensive coffees on the planet. Our first 2 offerings are from Panama. From the Ethiopian varietal called 'gesha' that has made the Esmeralda Special the most infamous, most expensive coffee in the world for the past 4 years;

Our 2 initial offerings are:

Aurora -a washed process coffee from the Gesha varietal harvested by the Mama Cata farm in Boquete, Panama. This coffee is the perfect expression of this varietal, perhaps the most unearthly, uncoffee-like coffee imaginable. Pristinely clear and sweet a cornucopia of fruit flavors can be found in this coffee. Orange, peach, apricot, passion fruit, strawberry. Absolute coffee perfection.

Nectar -a natural process coffee from the same producer in the style of the great naturals from Yirgacheffe like the Biloya and Balekara coffees Paradise Roasters has offered in the past. Produced under the watch and consultation of Graciano Cruz of the Los Lajones farm in Boquete. Compared to the Aurora, Nectar is more exotic and full bodied. The aroma is an intense mix of orange peach and berries, the finest example of a natural process coffee I have seen from anywhere in the world."

Retail pricing is as follows:

Aurora 4 oz roasted-$50
Aurora 8 oz green -$85
Nectar 4 oz roasted-$75
Nectar 8 oz green -$130

Only 100 lbs of each lot will be available (compared to 500 lbs of the Auction Esmeralda or roughly 1000 lbs of Kopi Luwak) These coffees will be available mid-November and will be roasted every Tuesday while supplies last. Customers can specify a roast and ship date. All coffees will be packaged in matte black stainless steel tins hand signed by the roaster and addressed to their intended recipient. Pictures and information on the coffees themselves will be included with each package

R. Miguel coffees will be the most exemplary, most exclusive coffees available. Future offerings will be available from Hawaii, Ethiopia, Colombia, Panama and other growing regions. Exclusive sourcing of micro-lots available. Average lead time needed is 2-3 months and invited customers can have special lots prepared exclusively for them in sizes from 50-1000 lbs. Pricing varies based on lot size, quality and pedigree.

No one can simply purchase these coffees from a website. Instead you must be invited to purchase, or place your name on the waiting list, which is handled on a first come, first-served basis. With coffees of this rarity, it seemed to be the only reasonable way to ration the available quantities.
