Turd-harvested coffee in the news

Another one of those end-of-history headlines: "Marsupial-manure coffee is flying off the shelves." This isnt' a very new story; turd-java (where the partially digested beans are harvested from the feces of an animal that eats 'em in the wild) has been a weird-ass coffee-fetish that's been creeping into the mainstream for a couple years. And what coul dbe more mainstream than a conservative cattle-country burg like Edmonton?

Coffee fanatics in Vancouver and Edmonton are paying $150 per quarter-pound for the privilege of taking home coffee that came from the poo of an odd marsupial…

The result is worth $600 a pound and has a chocolatey taste.
