What the @#!@!

In the remote interior of Vietnam, wild weasels roam coffee plantations, eating ripe coffee cherries and then vomiting them up. The beans are then collected by locals and roasted at high temperatures, producing a strong brew with chocolate tones. Grange Hall sells this for $32 per two ounces. No, we are not making this up. Grange Hall, 4445 Travis St. 214-443-0600.
