I caught an article on WTNH-TV News this morning about a coffee shop in Minnesota that is selling a $10.00 cup of coffee. Why so expensive? It is made from coffee beans that have passed, partially digested, through the intestines of the common palm civet, an Indonesian cat. Apparently, this stuff is known as Kopi Luwak. To learn more about it, check out this article on Wikipedia. According to the online encyclopedia, the coffee beans themselves can sell for up to $600.00 per pound. I don’t know about you, but I think I may stick with Starbucks Decaf.
