Kopi Luwak Bello Montana?

Okay it's no secret I love coffee, I mean really, really love coffee. I was watching this show the other night and it was about the coffee culture that is booming and all the lengths people go to in order to get the ultimate coffee fix (don't know about you but my coffee fix ended when I found Bello Montana), anyway -

They had the supposed world's most expensive coffee..... Kopi Luwak... Sounds exotic and inviting right?

Hey Scott, come over I just brewed up a pot of Kopi Luwak.

Well, apparently it's really tasty stuff, but after having seen the "production" process, I'll never know.

It's made by Civets (think little feral cat). No, not like civets going out and picking coffee beans and putting them into little sacks or little furry civets standing before huge roasters making sure the beans are done to perfection...oh no.

The Civets eat the coffee beans and they are very picky about the beans they eat, only eating the best and ripest beans. Then, the coffee beans pass through the animal's digestive track and when it's passed (to put it nicely), the beans are collected and used to make Kopi Luwak coffee. Only about 50 kilos of this unique coffee is "harvested" a year so it's not cheap.

So, I'll be drinking my Bello Montana until they come out with a Kopi Luwak blend.....
