Would you pay £50 for a cup of coffee?
How about if that cup of coffee contained cat poo?
Well now at the Peter Jones department store in Sloane Square, England, you can buy a shot of expresso cat poo coffee. But me? I think I'll pass, I'm not a big coffee person anyways... or cat poo person for that matter.
"Internationally-renowned barista David Cooper created the coffee, which is a blend of Jamaican Blue Mountain and the exclusive Kopi Luwak bean. Kopi Luwak, or Civet coffee, is made from beans eaten, partly digested, and then expelled by the Indonesian civet cat.
Mr Cooper said: 'These rare coffees have been slowly hand roasted for around 12 minutes to ensure that we maximise the potential of each coffee.
'The final roast colour is quite dark to ensure that the espresso is perfect for a smooth latte or cappuccino.'
Civets, who live in the foliage of plantations across south east Asia, are said to pick the best and ripest coffee berries. Enzymes in their digestive system break down the flesh of the fruit before the animals expel the bean. Workers collect beans from the plantation floor, wash away the dung and roast them.
All proceeds from the coffee sales are to be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support."
So, would you drink it?
you gotta try it!!! I brought some of those weasel coffee back from Vietnam! I fell in love with it when I was there! It is the best coffer I've ever tasted!
