Good to the last puke
There's a little animal in Vietnam which has magical properties. Locally, it's called a weasel (though technically, it's a type of civet, but let's call it a weasel like the locals) and it sure likes to eat the fruit of the coffee plant. But the seeds don't sit well in its tummy, so it vomits them up. And that's where the fun comes in - for local coffee folks gather up the beans and lightly roast them. The stomach acids seem to wear away the bitter taste of the coffee beans, and the resulting coffee is delicious and smooth.

Price:
$24.99

I think there's a type of coffee out there that's eaten and pooped out, then harvested and used. I don't know what eats it or anything, but, can you say NOM NOM!
 
It ain't weasel "puke" coffee...Kopi Luwak comes out the other end, LOL.

I was referring to this:

, not the first note.

If anyone asked me, I'd say the original weasel regurgitation thing is a translation mistake. You know, engrish kinda thing.
 
I happen to have it on good authority that weasel puke coffee is actually just kopi luwak from bulimic civet cats.
