I have to admit I am not fond of coffee although I usually like the conversation that goes along with ingesting java. If you are a coffee lover you should be aware that there is a new gourmet coffee on the market called Kopi Luwak. Current market demands price this “earthy, musty, syrupy, smooth and rich” blend at more than $1,000 a kilogram. Why is this coffee so expensive? Well it seems that it is brewed from coffee beans that have been expelled from the anus of an endangered species. That is correct, farmers of this coffee bean search the jungle for droppings left by the Indonesian civet. They then extract the half digested coffee beans from the droppings, clean them and package them for export. A Civet is a weasel like creature that spends most of their time in trees and roaming jungles. It should be noted that Civets only ingest “the finest and ripest” coffee beans available to them. It is also important to note that the Ethiopian Civet does not produce a coffee bean as pleasurable to the palate. Apparently the Ethiopian Civets digestive track dries the coffee beans out and doesn’t allow them to keep their moisture. Some coffee enthusiasts say that the blend has both “jungle and chocolate undertones”. I can’t help but be frightened by trying to reason out what the cause for the chocolate undertones could be. I am also concerned and curious as to where Juan Valdez finds his coffee beans.
Care for a fresh brew?
P.S. - I had a dream recently in which my grandfather was a vampire and warned me about other vampires trying to attack me. He mentioned to me that I must have an important conversation with a “MISS ROGERS”. From this conversation I am supposed to find out the secret to life and how to eliminate the world of vampires. The sad part is I don’t know anyone with the surname “ROGERS”. I guess the vampires will continue to hunt me.
P.P.S. - I feel like sending saucy text messages to people on my msn list. Sadly I need more people on my list that have money and a cell phone. Thus I can either steal their money or bombard them with drunken text messages.
