Cat poop coffee? Could it be that cat shit? Later on, after a search, it was really true!

Cat poop coffee is grown on Indonesian islands such as Java, Sumatra, Bali and Sulawesi. Indonesian civets like to choose the most ripe, sweet, full and juicy coffee fruit from the coffee tree as food. The coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, and only the pulp on the outside of the fruit is digested. The hard coffee beans will be excreted by the Indonesian coconut cat. After this digestion process, coffee beans have changed, unique flavor, taste particularly mellow.

According to the study, the Indonesian civet's digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, which reduces the bitterness of coffee and increases the round taste. Coffee beans generally go through the process of fermentation of the shell. Coffee beans are in the intestinal tract of the civet. Special bacteria provide a unique fermentation environment. The flavor becomes unique and especially thick and mellow.

Indonesian coffee has earthy and herbal flavours and is the highest consistency in any continent. But "cat poop coffee" has a stronger earthy smell and a consistency closer to syrup, with a very special aroma. After drinking, there will still be a faint mint cool feeling in the mouth, which is the "exclusive taste" that ordinary coffee does not have. After drinking a cup, take a deep breath or take a mouthful of cold water, you can obviously feel a cool sensation from the mouth to the throat, as if you just ate a mint throat lozenge.

Experts say the Indonesian civet has a gland near its sex organs that secretes a milky white oil that has long been a prized ingredient in the perfume industry. Because the wild civet is obviously better at picking good coffee fruits, this coffee has a unique character.

From this, I can't help but think of many animal feces (even human feces) in traditional Chinese medicine. In the anti-Chinese medicine trend, there were some people who opposed Chinese medicine. They used feces as a target to attack Chinese medicine as ignorant, backward or even unscientific. Cat feces can be made into coffee to drink, is it not scientific to use other animal feces to cure diseases?
