As the gold of coffee, Kopi Luwak has always been one of the most expensive coffee in the world, with a price of hundreds of dollars per pound.

Due to the fermentation of the stomach, the coffee produced has a special taste, so it has become a hot product in the international market. But there has been a wave of boycotts on Kopi Luwak recently. Why address the most expensive coffee in the world? Is there any reason to boycott Kopi Luwak?

Why boycott the world's most expensive coffee-Kopi Luwak?

Kopi Luwak is made in Indonesia. In the early 18th century, the Dutch established coffee plantations in the Indonesian colonies of Sumatra and Java, and banned locals from picking and eating their own coffee fruits. Indonesian locals inadvertently found that civets love to eat these coffee fruits and will drain the beans intact when they poop.

Musk cats only choose the most ripe and sweetest coffee beans, which in itself is a natural screening. Second, locals find that these beans are fermented by the cat's stomach to produce coffee that tastes better than ordinary ones. Mellow and delicious Kopi Luwak has gradually become famous and become a hot product in the international market. So the question is, why boycott Kopi Luwak?

[reason 1 for boycotting Kopi Luwak: 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 for boycotting Kopi Luwak: 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.

[boycott Kopi Luwak reason 3: quality]

Coffee beans that artificially feed civets have not been screened and are not beans of high quality!

[reason for boycotting Kopi Luwak: unscrupulous merchants]

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.

Coffee bean quality manual screening technology is so mature, do you really think it is not as good as cat poop? In short, instead of being deceived by these commercial marketing methods, have you ever seen coffee made in such a cruel and dirty way? Why not buy a cup of coffee that really pays attention to quality!

After reading this article, the editor really feels that human civilization has once again risen to a higher level. Maybe some people think that Kopi Luwak is just the excrement of civets, which is not a terrible thing, is it? But have you ever thought that although this is not very cruel compared to slaughtering elephants and sharks for ivory and shark fins, have you ever thought about the feelings of animals? Unscrupulous businessmen abuse civets every day for money, making them on the verge of collapse, and mental torture is often worse than death and suffering. In order to protect animals, please boycott Kopi Luwak!
