Coffee Cup

A gourmet coffee blended from cat droppings is being sold at a London department store for £50 per cup.

Jamaican Blue Mountain and the Kopi Luwak bean are used to create Caffe Raro which is thought to be the most expensive cup of coffee in the world.

Kopi Luwak beans are eaten, then passed, by the Indonesian Civet cat and sell for £324 a kilogram.

All profits from sales of the coffee at Peter Jones in Sloane Square in April will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Interesting… I’m not a fan of coffee, but I wonder how this actually tastes?

    It’s still not worth it, even at half the price! Ukrainians have better things to spend their money on, like Kvas! ;)
