Kopi Luwak means civet coffee, which is the most distinctive coffee civilization in Indonesia and the most expensive coffee today. The unique "making" process may be impossible for many people to hear, but it carries the unique flavor of Indonesian local coffee, and there is an endless stream of people who like it.

Legend has it that in the colonial period, Kopi Luwak was discovered by gardeners at that time. Since the coffee growers at that time did not allow workers to pick their own coffee fruits in the trees, they could only collect the civet droppings that sneaked into the yard to eat the coffee fruits, cleaned them, and picked out the edible coffee beans, which fermented in the civets' digestive system, giving them a special flavor, and the coffee tasted well.

During the Shanghai World Expo, Fireboat Group even vigorously promoted Kopi Luwak, 12 grams of coffee powder made of coffee worth 400 yuan, a daily limit of 15 cups still can not satisfy consumers.

When I saw this, I suddenly remembered the lines from Uncle GE's movie, "not the best, but the most expensive!"

"however, if there is no sale, there is no killing." driven by interests and a large amount of market demand, the poor civets are caged to deliver large amounts of coffee fruit every day, using this cruel means to increase coffee production.

Isn't it ridiculous to base your own interests on the destruction of your life?
