You Can Spend $150 on a Cup of Coffee at Proud Mary, if That’s Something You’re Into | Eater Portland

"A third-generation coffee farm in Panama’s Renacimiento district, Hartmann Estate consists of two farms tangled among native rainforest near the Costa Rican border; the region’s heavy rainfall and nighttime wind chill cool the plants, slowing growth and concentrating flavor, but yields are low so beans are scarce. Their Black Jaguar Geisha won first place at the 2022 Best of Panama competition, and Proud Mary purchased a pound of it for $2,000 to offer extremely limited $150 cups; the family behind the farm is committed to keeping the rainforest shade intact, and their website emphasizes that employees and buyers return because they share a vision of working with nature and caring for the land." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
