Which coffee is made from animal droppings?!
I was at the coffee shop in the mall and got in a discussion with the barista!. He said that Jamaican Blue Mountain comes from beans excreted from cat droppings!. I thought that was Hawaiian Kona!? Could someone please explain which one it is, and the process used!? Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oh yes there is and it is very expensive it is called Kopi Luwak
From Wiki
Kopi Luwak (pronounced [?kopi ?luwak]) or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus)!. The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested!. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Kape Alamid) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku)!. Vietnam has a similar type of coffee, called weasel coffee, which is made from coffee berries which have been regurgitated by local weasels!. In actuality the "weasel" is just the local version of the Asian Palm Civet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Jamaican Blue Mountain does not come from any animals droppings!
As the answers above correctly state, you can buy such coffees such as 'civet processed' coffee, but they always state on the front of pack!.
Jamaican blue mountain is a type of coffee, completely unrelated to the 'civet coffees' you find on sale!.

Kopi Luwak (pronounced [?kopi ?luwak]) or Civet coffee is made from the droppings of a lynx type cat!. It cost around $200 dollars for a pound!. It was referenced in the movie the bucket list as well as being served in some daring restaurants in the seattle area!. It is a stong yet fruity coffee!. The actual roasting takes place in the animals stomach and workers follow the cats around with bags to collect their scat!. Drink up honeyWww@FoodAQ@Com
You are right about both names, but I do believe it is a monkey that eats the beans, but his digestive system does not desolve the bean and he poops them out whole, and it is supposed to add to the flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
that Kopi Luwak!.!.lol! (cat droppings!.!.lol!) And I'm not gonna front: the only reason I know was because I just got done watching that movie with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson ("The Bucket List") lol! OMG that part was hilarious when he found out he was drinking cat booboo!Www@FoodAQ@Com
