Does Kopi Luwak taste good? What's that smell? How to flush cat shit? Do you have an inside story?

Civet Coffee, also known as Kopi Luwak, is made from beans excreted by civets after eating coffee cherries. In addition to the high price, is there another reason to reject civet coffee?

Investigators visited many civet coffee farms and villages in Indonesia and the Philippines. Indonesia and the Philippines are the world's largest producers of civet coffee. Secret investigative videos show civets imprisoned in dirty, empty cages with neurotic behaviors-including pacing back and forth, spinning frantically, shaking their heads and biting the edge of the cage. These are all symptoms of madness caused by boredom and melancholy.

Experts told investigators that it is almost impossible to rely on civet coffee obtained entirely from the wild, but some farms deliberately label coffee from captive civets as "obtained in the wild." Two Indonesian farms told our investigators that they did not care to mark the farmed coffee beans as wild for sale. One of the farms also gave investigators a bag of samples clearly marked "wild". Many experts say that it is impossible to produce civet coffee in large quantities only by relying on wild coffee beans.

In the wild, civets often climb trees to get ripe coffee cherries, but captive civets are fed more ripe coffee cherries than they normally need. A farmer explained that civets are usually imprisoned for up to three years and then released into the wild. However, the stress of imprisonment and malnutrition can cause their hair to fall off. The worker also told PETA investigators that some civets could not survive after being released into the wild.
