Civet coffee: civet coffee (Kopi Luwak), also known as Kopi Luwak, it is made by the civet after eating the coffee fruit to the coffee beans intact, people extract the coffee beans in its feces and processing.

Produced in Indonesia, the coffee is currently one of the most expensive in the world, costing as much as a few hundred dollars per pound. The civet eats the ripe coffee fruit and excretes it through the digestive system. Due to the fermentation of the stomach, the coffee produced has a special taste and has become a hot product in the international market.

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.

There are also cat shit farmers in Yunnan, which adopt the method of semi-captivity. The civet moves freely in the greenhouse, and the coffee beans are eaten freely by it. The mode of production is quite reasonable, but the yield is low. Cloud Musk Cat (Kopi Luwak) coffee is a small species of coffee in Yunnan. Its full fruit aroma mixed with heart-penetrating musk aroma, giving people a pure, delicate, supple feeling; the entrance is as comfortable as silk, gentle, sweet, with a sour aftertaste; the aroma is special and penetrating.

Cloud Musk Coffee is produced in Lujiangba, Gaoligong Mountain, Baoshan, Yunnan Province, where there are three wild masked palm civet coffee gathering areas in 2013. This kind of coffee produced in Yunnan is only 50 to 100 kilograms a year, which is very precious. It is relatively difficult to collect musk cat coffee in Yunnan. Wild masked palm civet in Yunnan is widely distributed in coffee growing areas. Workers have to carefully collect masked palm civet's feces from the coffee jungle and get coffee beans from them, which are washed, deodorized, dried and finally roasted by a qualified coffee roaster. It is estimated that only about 100kg of wild masked palm civet coffee can be collected in Yunnan in 2013. In 2013, fruit beavers were also artificially fed in Yunnan to get coffee beans.
