Civet dung coffee “tastes like heaven comes from hell”

A coffee that tastes good, smells good but comes from the droppings of a cat-like animal.
coffee, coffee, coffee, I really can’t live a day without  drinking this beverage. Everyday I would consume five to six cups depending on  my craving and would even reach more than ten cups. You may say that I am  addicted to this drinking spree, but I don’t think so for I have my limitations.  Irony isn’t it.
Last week I was invited by a friend of mine to his house and told me that  there’s a new coffee that he wanted me to taste, I was overwhelmed by his  invitation and made me somewhat an authority to the taste testing of the said coffee. It was 4:30 in the afternoon  when I arrived at his house just in time  to consume another cup. For a starter he told me that the coffee came from the  remote area of  Indonesia, a country in Asia and very expensive. A cup  would be sold at $100 in the U.S.. Skeptic in a way, I can’t wait to  grab  a hold of the beverage and be the judge to its taste. A few minutes later, the  elusive coffee is finally at hand. The aroma smells good and it is really  different form the usual coffee that is served in coffee  shops. I sip a little and let my taste buds go to work.The taste was exquisitely good and exotic in a way for it  came from Asia. I drunk all the content and made me crave for more but hesitant  to ask another cup.
I asked my friend from what variety of coffee  bean was it made? He smiled and answered just from an ordinary coffee  tree only it came from the feces(dung) of a Civet(cat-like appearance and native  to Asia). I was about to vomit but hold back for I might offend my friend.
Civet dung coffee tastes good but I just can’t imagine  drinking it by collecting it’s droppings. It just wont badge into my system and would  prefer the coffee bean that is extracted from its branches and not somebody’s  waste.
Come to think of it, and just being honest and true to myself, though it’s from the droppings of an animal it really tastes good and the price is complimented by its rich aroma.
I would like to acknowledge my friends who set me up to taste that wonderful cup of coffee. namely: yong, pau, albert chel, brian, bosing, grace, dianice and j.b.
