Coffee in general is overpriced in Msia due to our currency and exchange rate (the actual commodity price does not change across the globe).

And also combined with the fact that ppl need an AP to import green unroasted beans into Msia, which actually doesnt help to increase competitiveness in the industry.

haha but it's true what... just stating some facts. anyway coffee culture is on a meteoric rise nowadays so it's all good.

Actually 'expensive' or not depends on the type of coffee.
Arabica is generally more expensive than Robusta but non-specialty grade Arabica is actually not expensive at all.
Even if it's specialty grade, the reason it's expensive here is because of our currency.
