Thanks to the coffee culture explosion, connoisseurs are now proactively seeking new twists on their beloved bean-based beverage. Cappa-this, frappa-that, double mocca doodah - the permutations are endless.
But despite all the commotion surrounding these newfangled concoctions, it's gonna take more than a few choccy sprinkles and an injection of hot milk to get us frothing with excitement. And that's exactly what we told our roving product scouts when they returned from the depths of the Indonesian jungle claiming to have found the most extraordinary coffee in the world.
Following a brief explanation and a quick sip of the stuff we were asking our barista if she could muster up a few slices of humble pie, because Civet Coffee, also known as Kopi Luwak, is indeed the most astonishingly different coffee we've ever tasted.
Only about 500 kilos of this blend is collected per year, making it the ultimate in exclusivity and rarity. And when we tell you where the beans have, er, been, you'll understand why. You see the primary reason for Civet Coffee's distinctive taste is that it's been partially fermented by passing through the digestive system of a Sumatran Civet Cat. No, really!
Basically this feral feline prowls Sumatran coffee plantations at night, choosing to eat only the finest, ripest cherries. The stones (which eventually form coffee beans) are then collected by sifting through the Civet's number twos.
Revered for its luscious chocolatey flavor Civet Coffee is totally safe, totally sterilized and totally delicious. Plus there's no discernable aftertaste.
Native Sumatrans consider this to be the finest coffee in the world, and it really is the ultimate brew to serve to all those annoying Johnny-come-lately coffee shop connoisseurs. Of course, telling them where it comes from is completely optional.

I bought this for my Dad for Xmas as he is a real pain to find presents for.
I'm not really a coffee drinker, but this coffee was absolutely delicious. It had an incredibly chocolatey flavour. We both adored it!

I tryed this once at a halloween party where they got us to eat things blindfolded then geuss what it was, i thought I was lucky and getting some coffee with something normal put in, i was terrified when I found out what it was.
But secretly I wanted to know where to get more I'm glad I found this site, now I don't have to ask my mates where they got that cat poo coffee.
What an embaressment that would be!

 | Weasel Coffee
You can keep your skinny lattes and your fancy frappuccinos; the beans used to make this incredibly rare coffee have been eaten and then regurgitated by Vietnamese weasels. Sickeningly delicious!

 | Monkey Picked Tea
This deliciously delicate brew has been hand - or rather paw - picked by specially trained monkeys. No, really! The industrious little fur balls are famous in China, and the leaves that they pick produce a wonderful, pale golden tea.

 | I Am Not A Paper Cup
Here at Firebucks we love those coffee shop to-go cups. Unfortunately they're made of flimsy paper. Enter this ceramic version of a modern design icon. Featuring a flexi-top for maximum slurpability, it's the ideal vessel for stay-at-home coffee fans. Chocolate sprinkles?
