The most expensive coffee in the world comes from cat shit-- civet boutique coffee introduces the mouth of civet coffee.

Some people will buy their own coffee machine coffee beans to make coffee to drink. But do you know what is the most expensive coffee bean in the world? The most expensive coffee beans in the world actually come from civet droppings.

Civets live in the jungle, live in trees, and come out at night. They eat the coffee fruit, but cannot digest the coffee beans in the fruit. In the process of passing through the civets' digestion and excretion system, coffee beans undergo the "experience" of a variety of enzymes and acids, removing bitterness and giving off a unique fruit aroma. These cat dung coffees are expensive.

In the past, Filipino farmers who grew coffee tried to kill civets because they ate coffee fruits, but later found that civets could help them make a lot of money. Nowadays, for some farmers, civets are geese that lay golden eggs, so it is more comfortable to be caged.

"We never dreamed that we could make money from them." Rustico Montenegro said. The 44-year-old began picking up coffee beans from civet droppings a few years ago. Montenegro said that during the annual coffee harvest from March to May, he and his wife can pick up up to 8 kilograms of coffee beans excreted by civets a day and then wash them with natural spring water. A kilogram of cat dung coffee beans costs 1200 pesos ($28.75), five times as much as regular coffee beans, and the couple earn $230a day.

The civet has become a magic weapon for many Filipinos to get rich. More and more farmers and coffee growers are caging them in order to harvest more cat dung coffee beans. Reyes, an industry insider, believes that this practice is a bit "bad". She estimates that about 80% of cat dung coffee in the Philippines comes from caged civet cats.
