Which coffee is made from animal droppings?
I was at the coffee shop in the mall and got in a discussion with the barista. He said that Jamaican Blue Mountain comes from beans excreted from cat droppings. I thought that was Hawaiian Kona? Could someone please explain which one it is, and the process used? Thanks!
You know, I saw the movie the Bucket List, and it never occurred to me until now!
Oh yes there is and it is very expensive it is called Kopi Luwak
From Wiki
Kopi Luwak (pronounced [ˈkopi ˈluwak]) or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Kape Alamid) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku). Vietnam has a similar type of coffee, called weasel coffee, which is made from coffee berries which have been regurgitated by local weasels. In actuality the “weasel” is just the local version of the Asian Palm Civet.
