Kopi Luwak
Please, do not get me this for Christmas!
The civet cat or paradoxurus is a tree-dwelling animal that is part of the sibet family. Long regarded by the natives as pests, they climb among the coffee trees eating only the ripest, reddest coffee cherries.
They collect the poop for making coffee!
(Note: this is called a cat, but it is not feline - more like a skunk.)
Kopi Luwak: "But perhaps no coffee in the world is in such short supply, has such unique flavors and an, um, interesting background as Kopi Luwak. And no coffee even comes close in price: Kopi Luwak sells for $75 per quarter pound. "

Sounds like a great present for someone who gave me a rock a few years ago......
I ordered this as a joke to send to you at Christmas. I'll have you know that I had to go sign some customs forms at Fedex to accept delivery of it. For all I know I'm now on some list with the FBI for ordering strange stuff.....
