SEATTLE (WTVR) -  How much would you spend for a cup of coffee? Starbucks is hoping that for at least some of you, that answer is $7.

The java giant announced it's unveiling its newest premium coffee, the Costa Rica Finca Palmilera.

The coffee is ground from a special "Geisha" bean--a notoriously hard to grow varietal from Central America.

It's Starbucks most expensive coffee to date, running $7 for a grande, and $40 for a half pound. Right now it's only available in 48 stores nation-wide.
