英國:“貓糞咖啡”每杯100美元

A British department store is selling a special coffee, harvested from the dung of Indonesian jungle cats, for $100 a cup.

A British department store is selling a special coffee, harvested from the dung of Indonesian jungle cats, for $100 a cup.

The pricey coffee known as Caffe Raro is a blend of extremely rare Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and Kupi Luwak, an Indonesian coffee bean that is harvested from the bodily waste left behind by Indonesian civet cats, The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

Even so, the Peter Jones store says the luxury blend is one of the world's rarest and most expensive coffees.

The beans of Kupi Luwak are harvested after being ingested by civet cats, and only about 260 kilos (about 573 pounds) of the coffee is produced each year.

"The cats select the best beans to chew. The flesh of the fruit are ingested and the hard beans are evacuated. It's rather like a natural filtering process," said Carie Barkhuzen, a spokeswoman for the upmarket store in London's Sloane Square.

The coffee, which went on sale Thursday, is available at $100 for a shot at the Peter Jones Espresso Bar, or shoppers can buy 100g (3.5-ounce) packs of the coffee beans to take away for the same price.

"It's not exactly flying off the shelves -- it's very expensive, after all -- but customers are buying it," Barkhuzen said.

The proceeds from the coffee sales will go to charity.

英國一家百貨商店目前正在出售一種特殊的咖啡,這種咖啡取材于印尼一種叢林貓的糞便,每杯售價100美元。

據《每日電訊報》本周四報道,這種昂貴的“貓糞咖啡”由極為稀少的牙買加藍山咖啡和印尼魯瓦克咖啡豆混合調制而成,魯瓦克咖啡豆是從印尼麝香貓的排泄物中提取出來的。

盡管是“貓糞咖啡”,但彼特?瓊斯商店稱這種咖啡是世界上最稀少、最昂貴的咖啡品種之一。

魯瓦克咖啡豆從麝香貓消化后排泄的糞便中提取出來,每年的產量僅有約260千克。

據這家位于倫敦斯隆廣場的高檔商店的女發言人凱莉?巴克胡茲恩介紹:“麝香貓只挑選最香甜的咖啡果實食用。果肉被消化掉,堅硬的咖啡豆則被排出體外。這很像一個自然過濾的過程?!?/font>

這款咖啡已于本周四在彼特?瓊斯濃縮咖啡館上架,每杯售價100美元,顧客也可以同等價格購買100克的咖啡豆帶回家享用。

巴克胡茲恩說:“這款咖啡賣得不算快,畢竟它比較昂貴,但還是有人買?!?/font>

“貓糞”咖啡的銷售收入將捐給慈善機構。
