Monkey Parchment is the world's rarest and currently the most expensive exotic coffee available. The Monkey Parchment coffee takes everyone by surprise and raises eyebrows by its name alone, but the truly unprecedented uniqueness of the coffee is found throughout its entire production process.

It all begins with the Rhesus Monkeys in Chikmagular, India. The Monkey Parchment coffee comes from coffee beans that have been chewed on by Rhesus Monkeys that have enjoyed the sweet flavor of the coffee cherries throughout its existence in time. Occupying the forests in India, Rhesus Monkeys have always leisurely dined on the ripest and sweetest examples they can find throughout coffee estates. After chewing on the fruit for several minutes, they spit the coffee parchment covered seed out onto the forest floor. The next step is less leisurely and becomes trickier. Trained workers search the forest floors of Chikmagular to find the few seeds that the monkeys have chewed on. Those preciously left-over seeds are then thoroughly rinsed, washed, processed and dried.

Roastmaster R. Miguel Meza reports, ?I was very skeptical of this coffee at first but was assured it was very good on a trip to India earlier this year. I eventually had the opportunity to try it and was shocked at what I tasted. Unlike the other animal processed coffee like Kopi Luwak, this was a coffee that was unusual from the rest and proved exemplary. It is by far the sweetest and most complex Indian Arabica coffee I have ever tasted. Monkey Parchment seems to run the whole spectrum of flavors found in coffee from citrus to nuts, chocolate, and vanilla. The coffee is extremely heavy bodied with a pleasant rounded acidity and seemingly no bitterness. Truly a unique treat."
