The Coffee Critic – Kopi Luwak is a kind of coffee that has been digested by a small marsupial called the paradoxurus. A tree-dwelling catlike animal. Long regarded as pests because they would climb the trees and consume the best looking beans… yet, shit them out somewhat intact. Someone worked up the guts to roast, grind, and brew them into a cup of coffee… Great gods! However, at $110.00 per pound, unroasted, there seems to be no lack of market for them.
