Kopi Luvak - the most expensive coffee in the world




Kopi Luwak is the rarest, most expensive coffee in the world.
A single cup served in a coffee house can cost you $48.00.
A pound of Kopi Luwak coffee will run you about $300.00
Do you know why?
It's because the coffee actually comes from the excrements of an Indonesian animal called the Luwak.

(here's the Luwak) 

This cat-like creature eats only the ripest coffee berries, but because its stomach is unable to digest them, they come out whole.
The stomach acids and enzymes that perform the fermentation of the beans give the coffee a special aroma.
(no doubt)
Kopi Luvak is a luxury gourmet product that can’t be bought for less than $50 for 100 grams.
Just don't try anything exotic with the catbox.
