Celebrity Coffee Is Not For Me
Kopi Luwak is a very expensive coffee bean, mostly drunk by the rich and famous because of it’s hefty price. A pound of these beans can run you $300 or more but it is supposed to make one of the best tasting coffees in the world.
The secret to the beans is a marsupial in Indonesia called the Luwak. They scramble around looking for ripe coffee cherries to eat and once these beans move through their digestive track and out their bodies, they are harvested from the Luwak’s feces. They are “cleaned”, roasted and then sold to the suckers willing to pay that much for coffee out of an animals nether region.

I’m not an adventurous eater at all and this item will definitely not be on my list of things to try. Customers have called the taste earthy, musty and exotic. Two of those terms are ironic, considering where the beans came from.

I have not tasted this coffee and so I really cannot say whether it has earthy, musty and exotic. However, I have tasted some delicasies and many times I thought that they are nothing but expensive.
