The most expensive coffee in the world
The Kopi Luwak Coffee beans are the most expensive coffee in world. It has a lot of controversy surrounding it because the beans are actually excreted from a cat called the palm civet. The palm civets like to eat the red coffee cherries. They only the ripest, reddest cherries so they are naturally great coffee pickers for what will be harvested into the most expensive coffee in the world.
The intestines of the cat give the bean a bitter, complex taste in this natural fermentation process. The seeds or coffee beans are passed through their digestive system. After the palm civet poops it out the local pickers collect the beans from the crap. They are then sent for washing to remove the impure parts surrounding the coffee bean. The supplies are very limited which makes this the most expensive coffee.
You can read more about the most expensive coffee at the Kopi Luwak Coffee page and it sells for $349.99 per pound.
