Kopi Luwak

It is the world’s most expensive and rarest type of coffee. What is so unique about it is that the coffee is made out of cat poop. Yes, you read that right. The coffee is prepared using half-digested coffee cherries that are consumed and then defecated by Asian Palm Civets. The cat species has a digestive process that is said to enhance the flavour of the coffee. The coffee is from Indonesia and is also called as civet coffee.

Monkey Spit Coffee

If cat poop coffee wasn’t enough for you, there’s another somewhat similar coffee variant. In Taiwan, Formosan Monkeys feast on the coffee. They are naturally drawn towards the best coffee berries. They chew those berries and spit out the berries that are not digestible to them. This spit-up is collected and made into coffee beans. The monkey spit-ups used to be a problem for the farmers until they discovered that the leftovers were infused with a unique sweet taste and vanilla flavour.
