Cat poop coffee, yum yum.
If you're in Australia and your coffee tastes like … well … poo, don't complain. Just hand over your $50 and enjoy it, lest you be considered uncouth.

Herveys Range Heritage Tea Rooms in Queensland will soon become the latest to jump on the Kopi Luwak coffee bandwagon, and they seem to think this strange brew will be a hit with those seeking more than just your average cuppa joe.

You see, Kopi Luwak coffee beans are collected exclusively from the doodie left behind by the luwak, a cat-like critter that lives in the Indonesian jungle, News.com.au reports.

Apparently, luwaks like to eat ripe coffee cherries, but they will only eat the most mouth-watering of the bunch. After nature takes its course, lucky harvesters come along and collect the undigested inner beans from the dung.

But it gets even better.

The beans are then washed and just lightly roasted so as to avoid destroying all of the, uh, nuances of flavor created by the beans' magical digestive journey. They're then sold for big bucks to high-end retailers chomping at the bit for a pricey cup of poopy beans.

"We've spoken to our import company, and to our knowledge we are the only cafe in Australia selling this coffee," Allan Sharpe, owner of Heritage Tea Rooms, said. "I'm not kidding myself that we'll sell heaps, but people come here for an experience and many don't mind paying for that — it is a beautiful coffee."
