The special coffee, a blend of extremely rare Jamaican Blue Mountain and a coffee bean harvested from the dung of Indonesian civet cats, is being sold for $100 a cup in UK.

It has become one of the world's rarest and most expensive coffees.

The civet is a cat which has the knack for identifying the most superior beans.Workers grab the civet's waste after it has eaten the beans and excreted them.
