I know the title is not polite, but I'm not in upper class, so it's not my business. I served this coffee to today's adult students. This is a bottle of iced-coffee. ------------------------------------------------------
Mieko; "I'd like to share this coffee celebrating the end of summer."
Student A;"Looks like a bottle of wine."
Mieko;"I found this bottle in June in OHTANI supermarket, not in TOBU department store. (OHTANI is a high-class supermarket, but department stores are much higher.) I was really surprised at this saying "Why such expensive coffee is here? Who buys? " But Yuki and I were really interested to it. We were afraid to get used to the taste, so we decided to buy it at the end of summer. (If we have got used to the taste, we would have got into red (further) ). This is a bottle of Blue Mountain iced-coffee. Can you guess how much it is?Let's enjoy the Blue Mountain taste. (The students and we seldom drink Blue Mountain coffee.) And you have to understand if you feel the difference from usual iced-coffee sold in usual supermarkets, it comes from the high cost. It's not a matter whether you like the taste or not. I know it's not true that the higher it costs, the more delicious it is.
-----------------------------------------------------------
And we enjoyed this coffee with laughing.
Well, well I usual drink this iced-coffee. It costs about 150 yen, it is almost as much as milk.And when we drink iced-coffee at coffee shop, it usually around 400yen except MacDonald.
Can you guess how much is this bottle?
Of course Yuki and I enjoyed the taste.
To tell the truth, we understood the difference from our usual iced-coffee, not bad. but we don't know whether the taste is worth in the cost. We are not crazy about coffee though we love coffee.
But we really enjoyed it with atmosphere. Tasting expensive things sometimes make us elegant and happy.

Mikeo,is the Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica? The Blue Mt. of Jamaica is considered one of the finest in the world..and yes, it very expensive. One time, many years ago, we were in San Diego with very close friends and we celebrated our anniversary at a famous restaurant on the ocean. We ended the night by ordering an "obscenely" expensive conac that was 175 years old. The four of us shared one small snifter (glass), about 2 tiny sips each (after appreciative deep inhals of the potent fumes). We giggled and felt very decadant...but it is a memory we will share forever and still talk about even today. Jan
Jan, after knowing your experience, it doesn't impress anyone much, because it's just 1580 yen. But the price and the place I bought made us surprised.
Probably it will be our luxrious once a year.
