If you are a coffee addict with a particularly refined taste buds, this is for you - the Cat Poo coffee that costs a mere £50. Imagine? that expensive? Well, the price only spells how exotic this coffee is. But more than that, producing it is already a hard work.
Internationally-renowned barista David Cooper created the coffee, which is a blend of Jamaican Blue Mountain and the exclusive Kopi Luwak bean.Kopi Luwak, or Civet coffee, is made from beans eaten, partly digested, and then expelled by the Indonesian Civet cat.
Mr Cooper 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.'
Civets, who 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.
Workers collect beans from the plantation floor, wash away the dung and roast them.
All proceeds from the coffee sales are to be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.
