Rarest coffee

We’re just back from our vacation on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We had a great time. More on that later. 

In the meantime, I’d like to share a little information with you regarding the Rarest Coffee.

The Kopi Luwak Story
The Luwak (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) denizen of the coffee (kopi) plantations of Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi, eats only the ripest coffee cherries.

Unable to digest the coffee beans, the Luwak graciously deposits them on the jungle floor where they are eagerly collected by the locals.

The stomach acids and enzymatic action involved in this unique fermentation process produces the beans for the world’s rarest coffee beverage.

I think I’ll just stick to the old favorites. 
This rare coffee, no matter how tasty,
doesn’t have much appeal to me.
