A couple souvenirs we got - a wood stamp with our likenesses and names hand carved into them while we waited, and some weasel coffee. Weasel coffee is coffee that's passed through the digestive tract of a civet cat. The stomach acids of the civet smooth out the bitter notes in the coffee, and make for one smooth brew. It's pretty rare and a bit hard to find, so we figured we'd give it a whirl. The nice man assured us that the coffee we purchased was genuine, but we won't really know for sure until we try it. We tried some at the store, though, and that was definitely the real deal - the only time I've tasted such a smooth brew before was when someone gave me a sip of some Blue Mountain coffee. Yum.
sidenote: I'd rather not know how they go about collecting the coffee beans after they've gone through the civet cat. Eww.
