Rare Coffee From Animal Droppings
One of the world's rarest and most expensive coffees can't be found at your local Starbucks.
It is made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by the Asian Palm Civet and other related civets, passing through its digestive tract. This process resulted in coffee beans with much less bitterness. Usually villagers in the Philippines then find the piles of digested beans.
Fans of the coffee believe the digestive process in the animal's stomach gives the coffee a very distinctive chocolate flavor and a strong aroma.
After it is roasted, the coffee is sold at wholesale for well over $200 per pound
