The most expensive coffee

Source: wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak)

Kopi Luwak or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee cherries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The animals gorge on the ripe berries, and excrete partially-digested beans in their feces, which are then harvested for sale.

Kopi is the Indonesian word for coffee, and luwak is a local name of the Palm Civet (a kind of cat). The raw, red coffee berries are part of its normal diet. The inner bean of the berry is not digested, but it is believed that enzymes in the stomach of the civet add to the coffee's flavor by breaking down the proteins that give coffee its bitter taste. The beans are excreted still covered in some inner layers of the cherry, and locals then gather them and sell them to dealers. The beans are washed, and given only a light roast so as to not destroy the complex flavors that develop through the process. One small cafe in the hills outside Townsville in Northern Australia has Kopi Luwak coffee on the menu at A$50.00 per cup.

In HK, you can find this @ Caprice @ Four Seasons Hotel @ $242 for an 'expresso' size... wanna try?
