Expensive tastes
WHETHER it's coffee, cognac or chocolate, some connoisseurs want nothing but the best, and do not hesitate to spend whatever it costs to have it. You may be in need of their guidance in this season of excess, especially if you're down to the wire seeking a gift for that person who has everything -- and bargain-hunting has ceased to be of major concern. Honolulu's Gift & Gourmet, a small store downtown, is brimming with items hand-picked by store owner Celia Khim, including Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, which sells for $79.99 per pound ($39.99 for a half-pound). "I like to try what are supposed to be the best things there are," she said. What makes the blue-bean coffee so expensive is that it's grown entirely on a small portion of Jamaica called Blue Mountain, with limited production.
