Many people think that Kopi Luwak is unlikely to be the poop of a cat. In this regard, Mr. Zhu Guang, a senior coffee expert certified by the European Fine Coffee Association, said that Kopi Luwak is indeed the poop of a civet. Civet also has a more approachable name is "masked palm civet". In the coffee fruit ripening season, the wild civet will quietly run to the coffee field to eat coffee fruit, in the biological instinct, it will choose the sweetest coffee fruit. As a result, coffee fruits selected by civets are of higher quality than those selected by the most experienced coffee pickers. After the civets' intestines and stomach, the pulp and pectin of the coffee are digested, and the endocarp and coffee beans are excreted. The coffee beans, which are refined by biological intestinal fermentation, are slightly different from those that rely on conventional artificial refinement because of the different fermentation process.

He stressed that the taste and quality of coffee are mainly determined by the key steps of coffee variety, planting, refining, roasting and extraction. Kopi Luwak is different from the conventional methods in the picking and refining processes. The variety of coffee and other processes of planting are still determined by the coffee farm. In other words, if the farm grows Robosta coffee, even if it has been selected and refined by civets, it will never have the characteristics of Arabica coffee. If the quality of the grown coffee is guaranteed, it will be even better if it has been selected and refined by the civet. He added, "at present, there are very few civets in the wild. In early 2010, we bought raw Kopi Luwak beans from Indonesia. At that time, the officially certified Kopi Luwak was only 40 kilograms a year, 1 kilogram each bag, with a serial number on the bag. The price is really high. The conclusion of the taste is that the Kopi Luwak we got is a high-quality Robosta coffee with a mellow taste, rich wheat flavor and rich flavor. "
