TAMPA, Florida – A Florida coffee house is brewing up a buzz by selling the rarest type of coffee in the world—'Cat Poop Coffee'.
'Cat Poop Coffee' comes from the Indonesian Civet which resembles a cat and eats coffee cherries off of trees.
The beans end up in the animal’s feces and the next step is to sift them by hand. The end result is a coffee bean considered a delicacy and only 500 pounds are made each year.
The coffee is one of the rarest in the world. The Tampa coffee shop, shown in the attached video, paid $190 per pound. Customers paid $20 for a 12 ounce cup.
