Have you heard of this type of coffee? It is produced mainly in Indonesia and it is arguably the best coffee in the world and definitely the most expensive.
What makes it really special is that is carefully selected by a civet (cat-like animal) who eats only the best grains, digests them and "poops" them in their original shape, shells intact.

| A cup of Kopi Luwak |
The result is a powerful, lower caffeinated and less bitter coffee. We really liked it and are thinking of ways to incorporate it in our menu. Perhaps in a dessert?

Lo que
lo hace realmente especial es que es seleccionado muy cuidadosamente por una
civeta (una especie de gato) que solo come los mejores granos, los digiere y
los defeca en su forma original, con la cereza (la cáscara que los recubre)
intacta.
El
resultado es un café fuerte, con menos cafeína y menos amargo. A nosotros nos
ha encantado y estamos pensando formas de incorporarlo en nuestro menú… ¿quizás
en un postre?
