I'm sure that there are defects in many coffees due to improper handling that alter the flavor of what is in the cup. Some folks may find these coffees rustic and romanticize them. If the coffee is truly of good quality, it would probably stand up to tasting on it's own before needing to be passed through a small mammal's GI tract. No thanks and yuck.

There were a bunch of Clovers at CoffeeFest - pretty much the only morning coffee while waiting for the show to open. David said they're up to 250 units sold now. We're as sick of seeing stuff on kopi luwak as the next guy, but recently heard from someone we respect that it's actually good, although neither as good as the expense would indicate. If you can put aside how it's "made", that is. Sometime this summer we might pony up for a little bit... maybe we can make it a single origin and call it "crap on tap"? Nice piece.
