Cat dung coffee up for £50 a cup


The blend is made from two rare coffee beans


A gourmet coffee blended from cat droppings is being sold at a London department store for £50 per cup.
Jamaican Blue Mountain and the Kopi Luwak bean are used to create Caffe Raro which is thought to be the most expensive cup of coffee in the world.
Kopi Luwak beans are eaten, then passed, by the Indonesian Civet cat and sell for £324 a kilogram.
All profits from sales of the coffee at Peter Jones in Sloane Square in April will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Ripest berries
Civet cats, which live in the foliage of plantations across south-east Asia, are said to pick the best and ripest coffee berries.
Enzymes in their digestive system break down the flesh of the fruit before the animals expel the bean.
The beans are then collected from the plantation floor by workers who wash away the dung and roast them.
David Cooper, who created the blend, said: "These rare coffees have been slowly hand roasted for around 12 minutes to ensure that we maximise the potential of each coffee. "The final roast colour is quite dark to ensure that the espresso is perfect for a smooth latte or cappuccino."

Same for me mate!!

I wonder how much of the £50 per cup the workers who clean the shite off the bean see...

[{{909}}]

its not actually poop tea though is it, the bean itself isnt digested by the cat so when it comes out the other end its no different to when it was eaten, after its been cleaned of course. there's been coffee made in the same way for years.

gourmet coffee drinker = complete wanker in my book anyway, so if they think theyre drinking shit, i'd drop a few turds in so they're not getting ripped off.
