Coffee And Cat Poo A Match Made In Heaven

That's right, Coffee And Cat Poo are a blend that is surprisingly out of this world and coffee connaisseurs fighting over it.  Cups of this coffee can cost $30 with a pound fetching up to $160.

It's called Luwak after the Indonesian cat species of wild cat that uses it's hyper sense of smell to sniff out and eat the prized coffee beans.  When the coffee beans take a trip through the Luwak's digestive system they mix with stomach acids and enzymes to create a better tasting bean.

The beans are then plucked from the Poo and sold at staggering prices.  It may be a strange coffee story but find out why coffee poo might save the rain forest in Indonesia here:  http://azdailysun.com/news/local/education/coffee-from-cat-scat/article_ed96b3eb-48ec-574b-8bba-143c787f3e22.html
