Day 52: Kopi Luwak

So, I got a chance to try a cup of Kopi Luwak today. It's the most expensive coffee in the world. The coffee is harvested from beans that have passed through the digestive tract of an Asian Palm Civet, which looks like a cross between a cat and a weasel. The coffee sells anywhere between $100 to $600 a pound!

Anyway, the Brew & Ewe was selling it by the cup today. Actually, it was more of a half cup for $5. It had a bit of an odd smell, but tasted very pleasant. It almost had a bit of a chocolate taste. I'm not much of a coffee aficionado though. So perhaps on the east side today, but at least it was something new!
