As most gourmet coffee runs around $10 a pound, or less, this is quite a drastic jump in cost. It is like no other coffee production in existence.
Kopi Luwak is made from beans of coffee berries, which have been eaten by the Asian Palm Civet and passed through its digestive tract. Yes, the Asian Palm Civet, which is a rodent type animal, eats the coffee and then passes it through it's digestive tract whole. The Civet eats all types of beans: arabica, robusta, liberica and excelsa. It has been termed "weasel coffee" by some as the Civet is a rodent, or weasel like animal.
