1940年代以來,來自義大利及希臘的移民為墨爾本注入咖啡香,令墨爾本咖啡文化享譽國際。這支名為「黑豹」(Black Jaguar)的咖啡豆產於巴拿馬西部的齊里基(Chiriqui)地區,被譽為世界上最棒的咖啡之一。

在2022年「最佳巴拿馬」(Best of Panama)生豆評比中,這支黑豹咖啡在藝妓日曬處理類別以96.5分脫穎而出,接近滿分100分。

黑豹咖啡每磅售價超過2000美元(約新台幣6萬元),只有100磅開放搶購。澳洲「驕傲瑪麗」(Proud Mary)咖啡集團幸運搶到1磅。

評審團成員暨「驕傲瑪麗」老闆希爾特(Nolan Hirte)說:「我有靈魂出竅、豁然開朗的興奮感。這杯咖啡顯然真的與眾不同,無論風味和特色都獨具一格。」「從臉上表情就能看出來,它是如此豐富、如此鮮明…它有一種神奇魅力,令人驚艷。」

一名咖啡鑑賞家特地從雪梨搭了2小時飛機到墨爾本,只為了品嚐這杯高檔的手沖咖啡。

黑豹是「驕傲瑪麗」買過最貴的咖啡豆,除了在墨爾本限量開賣22杯,也在美國奧斯汀(Austin)及波特蘭(Portland)分店少量釋出。
