The Most Expensive Cup of Coffee in the World is made from poop…

Undigested Civet Pooped Out Coffee Beans

YES everyone...pooped out coffee...

While watching the the World Cup opening game of Mexico vs South Africa on Friday at La Guelaguetza, one of my friend's mentioned something about the most expensive coffee in the world made out of pooped out coffee beans. I was like whaaaa....???

Extremely intrigued, I immediately looked it up upon getting home, in disbelief of course, and lo and behold, found it was true.

Apparently, this coffee, named Kopi Luwak, is coffee that is made up from defecated coffee berries that the Asian Palm Civet could not digest.  The coffee is said to run you roughly $30.00 - $50.00 a cup of coffee or $300.00 - $500.00 a pound.
