We've all proven to Starbucks that we'll spend $4 on a cup of coffee.  So it's only natural for them to keep pushing to see how high we'll go.  Is there a limit?  This could test it. 

Starbucks just released their most expensive cup of coffee yet.  It's called the Costa Rican Finca Palmilera, and it's made from a rare coffee bean called Geisha.  They're selling it for $6 for a Tall . . . and $7 for a Grande.  Seven bucks!

Before this, their most expensive coffee was $4.50.

For now, they're only selling this at some stores in Oregon and Washington . . . but they're planning to take it nationwide early next year.

Apparently, coffee nerds . . . I guess there's such a thing? . . . say it's TOTALLY WORTH IT.
