Kopi Luwak

entry picture

(Cat Coffee)

 

If you’re seeking anaesthesia

You must look to Indonesia

For a coffee that’s the best where e’er you roam;

It will hurt you to cough up

For it’s £50 a cup,

So you’ll need another mortgage on your home.

 

To produce the perfect roast

There’s a process that they boast

Which enhances all the flavour they can give it;

For the Kopi Luwak bean

To contain so much caffeine

Has been eaten and excreted by a civet.

 

But Starbuck’s universal plan

From Japan to Yacatan

In order to compete with this a bit

Utilises two devices;

They firstly charge high prices

Then throw away the bean and keep the shit.

This is cracking John.
Seriously though, I have been given 100g of this stuff. It costs £17.50 a packet (£175 a kilo). Haven't tried it yet. I'll need to try and forget this piece whilst I'm drinking it though.
