FEATURE-Indonesian java not a brew for the faint-hearted

JAKARTA, April 5 (Reuters) - How much would you pay for a cup of liquid cat dung?

Quite a lot, if some highly discerning coffee drinkers are anything to go by.

On the lush, volcanic slopes of the Indonesian archipelago, villagers "harvest" kopi luwak. The beans used for the world's rarest and most expensive coffee have already been munched by cat-like palm civets, and now they are plucked from the dung to be dried and roasted.

Retailing in North America and Europe for up to $600 per kg, kopi luwak, literally "civet coffee" in Indonesian, is not a brew for the faint hearted.

1. Cat Dung
Wow, they can come clean my litter box daily and get as much as they need. No need to pay that much for cat crap.
