Would you pay $175 for a pound of coffee beans that had passed through the backside of a furry mammal in Indonesia?
Some coffee lovers wanting to treat themselves to something special are lapping it up.
Kopi Luwak beans from Indonesia are rare and expensive, with a unique taste and aroma enhanced by the digestive system of palm civets, nocturnal tree-climbing creatures about the size of a large house cat.
So far, most of the orders have been from California.
