MONKEY POOP MAKES THE BEST COFFEE 
Rich coffee lovers are going crazy for a new kind of coffee, made from the
coffee beans that have been through the alimentary canal of the Indonesian
monkeys. You can get a cup of such coffee in exclusive American cafes for
five dollars. Mark Mauntanos, an importer of this expensive product
advised, about 230 kilos of this coffee is delivered to the world market
during a year. Experts say, the people of Indonesia have known such a
drink for hundreds of years. They noticed that the monkeys, which live in
the palm-woods in Sumatra and Java eat coffee beans, but do not digest
them. The Europeans, who studied the nature of the most developed apes
stated that they selected only the best coffee beans, which went through
their intestines undigested.
