How much does everyone know about Kopi Luwak? Maybe this article can make you really understand Kopi Luwak.

First of all, let's take a look at an insider video of Kopi Luwak industry.

You may feel a little uncomfortable after watching the video, but this is the real inside story of Kopi Luwak! Greedy humans catch wild civets and keep them in small, dirty cages, forcing them to keep eating. They are on the verge of collapse, biting each other's companions, biting their own legs, pulling blood, and dying one after another.

Who can understand their panic, fear, and near collapse? Who can understand their helplessness and pain?

The real Indonesian Kopi Luwak is collected from the feces of a local wild animal called coconut cat (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The coconut cat is a timid nocturnal animal that takes advantage of the night to eat ripe coffee fruit during a bumper harvest on the coffee plantation.

However, they cannot digest the seeds, that is, coffee beans, which are excreted in their faeces. These coffee beans, which pass through the digestive tract and anal glands of coconut cats, are collected by farm workers and washed to form a unique flavor that is widely respected.

In the past, because coconut cats were wild, rare in quantity, difficult to collect feces, and the quality of coffee beans harvested in different periods varied, Kopi Luwak was not a commercially viable crop, but an interesting coffee treasure.

These timid and solitary creatures have to be huddled in a cage with their own kind, which puts them under great pressure, and an abnormal diet with too much emphasis on coffee fruits also makes them suffer from other health problems. Coconut cats in cages begin to fight with each other, even bite off their legs, feces begin to carry blood, and death is even more common. The captive coconut cat usually has only three years of "production". The farm catches the newly adult coconut cat and finds that it will be "released" after a hunger strike, but the coconut cat will soon die in the wild.

Tony Wild, the introducer of Kopi Luwak, said: "when I made an inadvertent purchase, it led to such incredible progress." At that time I introduced Kopi Luwak to the UK. It was a strange and novel short story, but now it has been overpriced and over-industrialised.

People use it to cover themselves with a veil of hypocrisy to whitewash their abnormal taste and senseless vanity. I hope everyone can think about it: to satisfy your own interest can not be at the expense of wild animals. This kind of cancer can no longer continue. It is time to stop it. "

Reason one: cruelty

Civet is a nocturnal animal that lives in the jungle and eats very little. Coffee beans produced by wild civets are very rare. Only in captivity can more Kopi Luwak be obtained. 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.

Reason 2: there are too many fakes.

80% of Kopi Luwak on the market is fake, and many coffee companies label regular coffee as "cat shit" to bid up the price. Even if it comes from real cat shit, it is basically the product of industrial production, and the original ecology is almost impossible.

Reason 3: quality

Coffee beans that are artificially fed to civets are not high-quality beans without any screening.

Reason 4: merchants are unscrupulous.

Kopi Luwak has driven a bad atmosphere, elephant shit coffee, squirrel shit coffee, bird shit coffee have all come out, the means are as cruel.

Conclusion:

Coffee bean quality manual screening technology is so mature, do you really think it is not as good as cat poop? Instead of being deceived by these commercial marketing methods, you might as well buy a cup of coffee that really pays attention to quality!
