A bio-dynamic coffee farmer in Brazil has found the ultimate high-end bean: in bird droppings.
When Henrique Sloper, the founder of Camocim organic coffee, saw his red mocha and yellow bourbon berries disappearing by the dozen to the Jacu, an endangered, pheasant-like bird native to the Mata-Atlantica rainforest, he knew he had stumbled upon something extraordinary.  
For example, an average 130lb bag of coffee found on supermarket shelves retails at $200USD, whereas Camocim Organics retails for $450USD and Camocim Jacu Bird Coffee averages at $3,250USD per 130lb bag.
Is the taste worth the price? 'It’s a unique, nutty flavor with nuances of sweet aniseed,' said Mr Sloper.
