Would You Like To Indulge And Drink The Most Expensive Coffee In The World?

Tweet

I was listening to this story last night on the news about the most expensive cup of coffee around in the world and it's popularity is widely growing. How expensive is this coffee? Well in Australia, a single cup of coffee is $40.00...that's right, $40.00 a cup. And you thought Starbucks was expensive. It's being toted as the Dom Perignon of coffees and the taste has been described as a hint of chocolate, caramel and "earthy". The coffee is known as Kopi Luak, and is "harvested" in the islands of Java, Sumatra, Bali and Indonesia. And what pray tell does Kopi Luak mean? The term translates as "Civet Coffee" which is the rather "nice" term for it. Do you know why it's called this? The civet cat of those countries ingests the coffee berries, and the seeds or coffee beans come out in it's feces. Workers then search for the civet dung and sort out the beans, where it's later cleaned and roasted. In other words this coffee is actually known as cat poo coffee. You can read an article about it here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,273237,00.html There's even a Youtube video of a man in Michigan who sells this coffee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B141ogkpPb8 Well folks I don't know about you. I do love coffee, the aroma, the taste, but I think I'll stick to my Maxwell House. Would you ever drink this cat poo coffee?
