This coffee costs more than $100 per pound. Its secret? Bats!
ITASY, Madagascar - In the rich volcanic soils of central Madagascar’s Itasy province grows a rare and fragrant coffee coveted by bats and humans alike. The twist: humans want it even more after the bats have nibbled on it.
But this may be the first time such coffee is being commercially produced in Africa, said Matthew Harrison, buyer at specialty coffee sourcing company Trabocca. Bourbon pointu sells domestically for about $101 per pound , more than 50 times the price of commodity-grade coffee. A bit of bat spit pushes the price higher.
Now, Ramarlah works with about 90 farmers who send him beans for processing and marketing, some at his on-farm restaurant.
