[[Coffee Luwak]
one of Arabica coffee varieties that have been eaten by a mongoose then collected and processed. Flavor and aroma of coffee is distinctive and become the world's most expensive coffee,for something like $600 per kilo. The luwak, an animal native to Indonesia resembling a cute cat, eats the ripe fruit of coffee trees (each piece contains two coffee beans side by side). When the luwak excretes the still intact beans, they are removed and roasted and ground into powder like any other coffee. Hard-core aficionados say the flavor is intense and defend the roasting process, noting that the beans in any case are roasted and what can happen to them in the luwak's stomach? Shenhav describes the taste and quality of luwak coffee as creating sparks and justifying the high price.
