Honey, Another Cup Please

World's most expensive coffee at £50 a cup comes to British stores...and it's made from cats' droppings

It might not be to everyone's taste - and that's not just because at £50 a cup it's the most expensive coffee in the world.
The secret behind the special blend about to go on sale at an upmarket department store is that it is made from cats' droppings.

One, 23-year-old Hannah Silver, said: "I was a little apprehensive before I tried it but I actually really liked it. It was very earthy and it tastes very smooth.

Modern Marvels has an episode on coffee and they talk about that one. It is from some place in Indoneaia. The cats (some sort of wild cat) eats coffee beans and the beans pass through undigested but altered somewhow.

The workers then come around and search for and collect the droppings and remove the beans.

Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kona coffees are also expensive.
