Cat poop coffee has a much longer history than elephant poop coffee. Its natural origin and artificial farms are mainly concentrated in Indonesia's Sumatra, Java and other islands as well as the Philippines. It is one of the most expensive coffees in the world. The market price is about US $400 per kilogram. Cat poop coffee is produced from the feces of Indonesian coconut cats (a civet cat), so it is called "cat poop coffee". This kind of animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After fermentation in coconut cat stomach, protein is destroyed, short peptides and more free amino acids are produced, the bitter taste of coffee will be reduced, and the feces discharged will be the main raw material. Since coffee beans cannot be digested, they will be excreted. After washing and roasting, they become cat feces coffee. Coffee critic Chris Rubin said,"The bouquet is so rich and intense, and the coffee is incredibly rich, almost syrupy. Its body and chocolate taste linger on the tongue for a long time, giving a pure aftertaste." The production of cat feces coffee is very small, which is why it is particularly expensive. It is even less available in the places where it is sold.
