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?
There’s another issue regarding Kopi Luwak —the animals’ welfare. Civets are usually caged but they’re actuallu solitary wild animals that can’t stand the cage. When caged, they’re prone to mental distress and other illness. Due to high demand of Kopi Luwak, many uneducated farmers often commit this cruel practice.
