Civet Coffee in captivity: the civet is a nocturnal animal that lives in the jungle and eats very little. The coffee beans produced by wild civets are very rare, and more Kopi Luwak can only be obtained by artificial breeding. Some unscrupulous traders keep the animals in small, dirty cages, forcing them to keep eating. They are on the verge of collapse, biting each other's companions, biting their legs, pulling blood, and dying one after another.

The source of civet coffee: civet coffee (Kopi Luwak), Kopi (Indonesian, coffee), Luwak refers to an arboreal wild animal called "civet" by Indonesians.

Kopi Luwak, produced in Indonesia, is one of the most expensive coffee in the world. Indonesia grows a lot of coffee crops, including wild animals called civets, omnivores, pointed mouths and dark gray fur. The favorite food is fresh coffee beans, which are fermented and digested in the body and eventually excreted by cats. Feces are grains of coffee beans and become the most expensive feces in the world. Because the quantity is very rare, so the price is very expensive. Civets are found in Indo-China, India (northeast), Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and Kashmir, but only Sumatran civets, or Indonesian civets, can produce Kopi Luwak.
