KOPI LUWAK: WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE COFFEE, MADE OF SHIT.

Though thankfully, it doesn’t taste like one. So, what is Kopi Luwak exactly? Made in Sumatra and other parts of Indonesia, Luwak coffee is the most peculiar coffee we’ve ever tasted – more so because of how it’s made, than how it tastes. Essentially this is the process. The coffee plantations around these areas are full of Civet Cats. These cats essentially eat the beans and poop them out. That's how they get their flavour profile. But don't worry, these beans are cleaned and roasted. To be honest, it doesn’t taste bad at all, but it doesn’t taste the best either. It’s stronger than most, but then that’s about it. It’s hugely popular in the States and highly expensive too – mostly for its process. Who would’ve thought that cat poop coffee would be the most expensive cuppa joe. Some say, cats are going to rule the world. They already rule the internet. This strange little cat poop is ruling the coffee world.
