If you think your paying a hefty price for your cup of coffee in the morning try paying $100 for a cup of civet coffee. Civet coffee is one of the rarest and most expensive coffee in the world. This coffee derived from normal coffee beans but is digested by a mongoose-like creature from Indonesian.
Key Takeaways:
- If you thought a $5 cup of coffee from Starbucks was expensive, maybe you’ve never had a $100 cup of civet coffee – the rarest and most expensive coffee in the world.
- Civet coffee is derived from normal coffee beans, but the beans are first digested and excreted by palm civets, a mongoose-like creature from Indonesian.
- After the beans are excreted, they are less acidic. When they are finally brewed, the coffee is darker, smoother, and has a caramel-like taste.
