Today I learned that Kopi Luwak is made from partially digested coffee beans

Today I learned that Kopi Luwak - which is the most expensive coffee - is made from coffee beans which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (or Indonesian palm civet). [Wikipedia]

Kopi Luwak is not really a type of coffee beans but rather a type of production process.

Kopi Luwak is one of the most expensive coffees in the world with prices going up to $700 per kilogram in the US. An 8.8 oz pack of Wallacea Coffee's Wild Luwak Coffee is retailing on Amazon.com for $39.99 today, January 08, 2020.
