Apparently some exclusive type of coffee bean is collected from cat droppings in indonesia

furio [Edit] [Delete] 22:07, 28 April '14

"In the early 19th century the Dutch established coffee plantations in Java and Sumatra, but prohibited the native farmers from collecting the prized beans for their own use. But the farmers soon realised that the Luwaks consumed the coffee berries and left the coffee beans undigested in their droppings. They then collected, cleaned, roasted and ground the coffee beans so that they too could enjoy this precious beverage."
