The truth of cat shit and animal abuse shows that ivory is hypocritical and bitter.

Recently, newspapers reported that a five-star hotel decided to stop selling inhumanely produced civet coffee in response to PETA Asia-Pacific's appeal, which once again aroused public concern about animal protection. PETA sent undercover agents deep into the farm to film the truth of all kinds of animal abuse. They even got farmers to say that it was almost impossible to mass-produce wild cat feces coffee. As for the so-called "100% wild" poster, it is only a cover: before being arrested, the civet came from the wild and was kept in an iron cage for three years. It was fed and excreted coffee nuclei continuously. After being released, it may die due to malnutrition, psychological trauma and other problems (zooosis). It cannot adapt to nature.

The old man taught me that when buying sea fish, one must first look at the mouth of the fish; fish kept in fish steaks often get injured because they hit purse seines. Fish mouth neat, is wild. As a consumer, she is concerned about whether the fish have enough space to swim and whether the meat is solid and refreshing. The chickens in the chicken farm are also kept in cages as egg-laying machines. Those who buy free range eggs probably do not care about the welfare of the chickens but about their quality. The author opposes cat poop coffee not only because of humanitarian grounds. More importantly, as a cup tester, it tastes and fails.

"Lower column" packaged as "upper grade"

At present, the consensus of the boutique industry is that "cat feces coffee is of poor quality."

After eating coffee berries, the undigested kernels are excreted through intestinal fermentation. Coffee beans treated as "natural" were originally collected by farmers from the mud and kept for themselves in the lower column of "enjoyment". However, after deliberate packaging and beautification by the media, it has now become a delicacy. The reason why the public falls into the trap of businessmen is nothing more than a lack of awareness of real quality coffee.

Grass tape tastes rough.

Local newspapers have described the report as "fragrant" and "absolutely brilliant", which will only whitewash the legend of cat feces coffee. Lily Kubota, communications manager for SCAA, wrote in 2011 that she had three conclusions: 1) the best cat poop coffee is not as good as the lowest quality coffee;2) the most authentic cat poop coffee comes from civets trapped in cages; and 3) most consumers buy fakes. In the same year, Stephen Vicks, a cup tester, published a cup test report on the coffee website: "Two of the four samples have mold and phenol flaws, respectively. The remaining two cups are reminiscent of grass, lotion tape, iodine and oysters. The taste is rough." They pay a premium for the story, not quality.

I can't pass the cup test.

SCAA's views are generally accepted by the industry. But there are still people who want to make a fortune out of it. The author knows that some people in order to correct the name of cat feces coffee to obtain a cup tester qualification. However, the peculiar smell in the sample cannot escape the cup test.
