Kopi (the Indonesian word for coffee) Luwak comes from the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi (formerly Celebes), which are part of the Indonesian Archepelago's 13,677 islands (only 6,000 of which are inhabited).But it's not strictly the exotic location that makes these coffee beans worth their weight in silver. It's how they're "processed."
Nice smelling coffee beans
Would you drink this?
Then read on!
Kopi Luwak is a rare and gourmet coffee from Indonesia that is made from beans passed through the digestive system of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), also known as the Common Palm Civet or the Toddy Cat, simply put it's Monkeys POO!
Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for between $120 and $600 USD per pound, and is sold mainly in Japan and the United States.
Exotic it maybe, but I wonder if this coffee bean is available for the standard coffee vending machine?
