(Kopi is Indonesian for coffee) This is the world's most expensive coffee, at $300-500 a pound. This coffee does not come from a critter urinating on the bean, however, but rather from beans that have been digested by a small cat-like nocturnal animal called the luwak. They live on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. The luwaks eat the ripe coffee berries, and the beans pass through their digestive system undigested. The chemical reactions within the animal change the bean somewhat, resulting in coffee that is less bitter. The quality seems to be superb, probably because the luwaks select the ripest berries to eat. However, whether it is worth its price tag... People probably buy it because of the bragging rights that come with it ;o) Thank you for your question; we may be exploring the Kopi Luwak a little further in a future article. - Nardo Hello Vicki,
