Kopi Luwak

The costliest coffee in the world costs $130 a pound.
Its called Kopi Luwak.

It is made from the shit of a marsupial Asian Palm Civet. This Civet eats the berries. But it cannot digest the bean inside the berry and throws it out. Local workers collect these beans and make coffee...

Why cant the workers just extract the bean from the berry themselves ?
well... probably it makes the coffee all the more exotic the way it is done now :)
