Most people that have known me more than about 15 minutes, know that I am a HUGE fan of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. I am also a huge fan of coffee in general except Starbucks. I favor Central American Coffee’s over all others.
I have tried a few coffees from Asia and around the world but just prefer the taste, aroma and general drinkability of Central American coffees.
But I am ALWAYS open to new coffee tastes and some blends. A friend sent me some Honduran coffee a few years ago and it was a blend and absolutely wonderful, WONDERFUL coffee. But being open to trying new coffees from around the world does have it’s limits.
Enter Weasel Puke Coffee.
No. Apparently this is not a joke or a parody or satire. It’s actual coffee.
There’s a little animal in Vietnam which has magical properties. Locally, it’s called a weasel (though technically, it’s a type of civet, but let’s call it a weasel like the locals) and it sure likes to eat the fruit of the coffee plant. But the seeds don’t sit well in its tummy, so it vomits them up. And that’s where the fun comes in – for local coffee folks gather up the beans and lightly roast them. The stomach acids seem to wear away the bitter taste of the coffee beans, and the resulting coffee is delicious and smooth.
Ok, right now you’re probably thinking we’re full of crap. But nothing we’ve written above is false. Weasel Puke Coffee really is made of beans thrown up by local Vietnamese weasels. And it really does give the coffee a different taste – a rich chocolaty flavor. Weasel Puke Coffee is truly a gourmet treat. And if the thought of drinking puked up coffee makes you throw up in your own mouth a little, then you are just the person to try this. Because puke makes the coffee better. Trust us.
Ok folks. Trust me when I tell you that you will NEVER have to worry about me serving this exotic coffee if you come over to the house.
