Thinking about drinking coffee which beans retrieved from feces may sound awful, but but your perspective may change if you know that poop coffee is actually the worlds most expensive coffee.
Yes, were talking about the famous Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) that can be easily found in coffee shops in Indonesia. The price per cup of pure civet coffee is around USD 35 to USD 100 (Rp 467,000 to Rp 1,3 million) compare that to the price of regular latte sold in major coffee-shop chains.
Do you know why the coffee is so expensive?
When civets digest coffee cherries, there’s some kind of unique fermentation process happening with the beans, and this process gives Kopi Luwak its special flavor and aroma. After roughly 24 hours, the civet defecated the coffee beans. They’re then collected by farmers and processed into grind-ready coffee beans.
