Кофе: где бы попробовать?
- 300 долларов за фунт говорят:
"Kopi Luwak" is very expensive, and is made from coffee beans passed through the digestive system of an Indonesian animal. It's more like a cat. According to a feature article by the Manila Coffee House, which sells the stuff, the people who harvest the digested beans don't really have to pick through cat litter to get it. The animal processes the beans and excretes them whole, unscratched, and without dung.
The animal is a palm civet, a dark brown tree-dwelling cat-like creature found throughout Southeast Asia. The scientific name is paradoxurus hermaphroditus.
According to the Manila Coffee House, the palm civet just happens to like to ingest the ripest and reddest coffee beans, which also happen to be the ones best for brewing. The cat eats the outer covering of the beans in the same way that is accomplished by de-pulping machines. Something happens to the beans in the journey through the cat's intestines that gives it a flavor that is celebrated by coffee drinkers.
At this point, most of the beans are purchased by Japanese buyers.

..(где смаилик, к-рого рвет..) Ето заплатить 300 баксов, чтобы выпить кофе, на к-рым животное покакало??! Или ето шутка юмора такая??
Нет, это серьезно. Животное ест самые спелые красные ягоды. Говорят что выходят они чистыми

Jamaica Blue Mountain. Само по себе хорошее кофе, но много подделок на маркете так же как и копи лувак. И того и другого производят мало, а продают нa каждом углу.
