I have made a resolution to only drink one cup of coffee a day, first thing in the morning, which I have managed to stick to without too many problems. But I had to make an exception today when I was given the chance to try some “Weasel Coffee”. Yep. This is coffee from Vietnam which has been through the digestive tract of a weasel, thus enhancing its flavour quite miraculously. At least that is the claim…
…and I have to say, in all honesty, it is indeed a most excellent and delicious coffee. Not that I’m a coffee geek, per se, but it just tastes expensive. And so it should, given that we will soon be selling it on Firebox for around £17 for a 100g bag. Which means my cup of coffee is about £5.
It has a complex, rounded, chocolatey or caramel taste, without any of the usual coffee bitterness. Those ole weasel digestive enzymes sure do make for a tasty cup a’ joe! (Rumour has it that most weasel coffee these days goes through a synthetic process and has never seen the inside of a weasel - aficionados claim that genuine weasel coffee is weaselly recognised and the synthetic knock-off is stoatally different. Not really, I just like that stupid joke…)
what a great job you done so far !!
