Would you pay $100 for
Thursday, April 10, 2008
Would you pay $100 for a cup of coffee? What if it was made with cat poo? Peter Jones, who is in charge of the in-store coffee shop at Sloane Square in central London, will soon be selling a 50-£ cup of joe. The blend is a mix of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee beans and Kupi Luwak -- beans from Indonesia that have first passed through the alimentary canal of a palm civet, a cat-like marsupial. In the process the beans become deliciously, er, musky . Proceeds from this very special coffee will go to a cancer charity. [via]
