Enjoy your cat-poo-cino! Coffee shop serving drink made from beans that have passed through civet cat... at £9 a cup
It is made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by an Asian Toddy cat and passed through its digestive tract.
Kopi Luwak, or Civet coffee, is said to be one of the trendiest beverages around – as long as you don't think too hard about where it came from.
The coffee, which costs between £200 and £300 per pound, is so expensive because of its scarcity, as only 500kgs of the beans are produced in its home of Indonesia each year.
Locals pick the 'coffee beans' from the faeces of Asian civet cats, which eat the ripe coffee berries as part of their diet.
Once they are cleaned they are roasted. The coffee they produce is described as filled with a deep, mellow flavour, not acidic, with a 'unique, soft, sweet taste'.
It is already been big hit in Japan and the U.S. and the latest place to sample the new brand is a coffee chain in Birmingham.
