All coffee acts like a stimulant to the brain but there's one type in particular that really gets the heart racing. Popular in Vietnam, the civet coffee is considered the bet coffee to get the sense excited. The hook? The 'coffee' beans are in fact cherries that have been eaten, digested and 'passed' by a civet animal. They are then brewed and blended. It's the musky taste that is believed to get the juices flowing. (credit:Alamy)
