The New York Post's Amber Sutherland reports that Cafe Grumpy in New York City has added a new coffee made from rare Nekisse beans that costs $12. The beans are from Ethiopia and a dried on a raised African drying bed.
"It is a higher-end coffee, and you have to take a lot of time developing and processing it," said Holt. "Once the coffee is harvested, it is dried on a raised African drying bed -- the actual coffee cherries never sit on the ground."
Colleen Duhamel, a coffee buyer and barista at Cafe Grumpy said the Nekisse beans, which are roasted on site, yield a far more complex coffee that should only be taken black.
Cafe Grumpy's website describes the Nekisse beans as "very clean, sweet, complex cup with tropical fruit notes of pineapple, kiwi and key lime. Floral notes of jasmine, lemongrass and rosemary." Take a look:
