Has anyone here in our Tribe ever had the chance to try the Coffe derived from the Civet? (sp?)

Ok!
For those who are not in the know about this particualr coffee?
The Civet is a small Cat-like Creature that feeds off the Coffee berries when they are Red (I think, if I am not mistaken that these creatures live in the South American Rain Forest) and digest them internally and then...???
Yes, you guessed it! Poop them out!
The Coffee Bean Farmers literally "Harvest" the digested Coffee Bean from the Animals poop! Of course they clean the beans and then grind them up and then make coffee out of them...slow roasted too I believe.
AND...it is incredibly, incredibly expensive too!!

SO, my question is...
Has anyone ever tried it?
If not, would you give it a try if you had the chance and knew where it came from?
