The process of making civet coffee is very unique. All coffee beans used to make coffee must be eaten by civets before entering the formal grinding and baking process. After the musk cat intestinal absorption, digestion and excretion before production. Coffee made by this special method is expensive, currently selling for 3500 pesos ($64) per kilogram and retailing at 450 pesos per 100g, enough to make 12 cups of coffee.
The civet is a carnivore with long legs and short legs. It is estimated that there are 15-20 species in the world. Mainly distributed in Africa, southern Europe and Asia.
According to Reyes, the head of the civet coffee manufacturer, during the civet's digestion, the protein in the coffee beans is broken down into small molecules, making the beans more fragrant when roasted. In addition, some proteins are completely filtered out in the civets' intestines, thus reducing the bitterness of the coffee. In fact, the researchers also doubt whether civets wolfing down the coffee beans can completely break down the protein in the coffee beans. However, they also found that the process of coffee beans passing through the intestines and stomach of civets is very similar to the wet processing of coffee during fermentation.
