Best headline today, by far. It's a re-hash of the "coffee-beans-harvested-from-civet-cat-droppings" story that made the rounds last year, but I just loved the quote from one consumer at the end of the article:"It's as good as my private life is bad. This is the kind of coffee you renounce your religion and sell your child for."
The coffee is called Kopi Luwak, and is made in neighboring Indonesia from coffee beans excreted by native civet cats. The world's rarest and most expensive coffee, the beans are painstakingly extracted by hand from the animals' forest droppings.
When roasted, the beans sell for around US$1,000 a kilogram ($1365/kg) and are selling for AUS$50 a cup at the Heritage Tea Rooms, west of Townsville, Queensland.
