Quote:Kopi Luwak or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee cherries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The animals gorge on the ripe berries, and excrete partially-digested beans in their feces, which are then harvested for sale. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Kape Alamid), in the country of Vietnam, and the coffee estates of south India.
Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for up to $600 USD per pound, and is sold mainly in Japan and United States, but it is increasingly becoming available elsewhere, though supplies are limited.

In this case, coffee browns.
I wouldn't drink it for free, and these poor saps pay that much for it. Oh, ****.
I feel sorry for the people whos job it is to harvest that ****..
What if they mistake a little turd for a bean?
firmness tests are manditory
*Picking up bean....* "Firm!"
*Picking up another....* "Firm!"
*Picking up another....* " Fi...aw crap...."
I'm thinking this is a good way to move some illicit product.
Overheard at customs...
"What is it?"
"Two tons of coffee beans harvested from civet ****."
"What's a civet."
"I dunno."
"You gonna inspect it?"
"Nope. You?"
"Hell no. I tell you, people will buy into the damnedest things. Oh, look, a care package. Let's see if there's any cheese in it..."
