The Most Expensive Coffee in the World Comes From this Island and From This Animal Who Produce It

Kopi luwak is not your traditional type of coffee made from coffee cherries that have been eaten, digested, and defecated by the Asian palm civet, a small mammal that looks like a cross between a cat and a raccoon. The beans are then cleaned and processed. In the West, kopi luwak has become known as "cat poop coffee."
With prices ranging between $35 and $100 a cup, or about $100 to $600 a pound, kopi luwak is widely considered to be the most expensive coffee in the world.
