Ruwak coffee beans [the most famous coffee beans in history come from the remains of coffee beans in the feces of cats and muskcats after eating coffee beans]

Muscat Coffee (Kopi Luwak), Kopi (Indonesian, coffee), Luwak refers to an arboreal wild animal commonly known as "civet" by Indonesians, which looks similar to masked palm civet in southern China. It is found in Sumatra, Zawa, and Sulvis and is part of the 13677 islands of Indonesia. Luwak is an omnivore. They are eccentric, have a keen sense of smell, have thick hair and long tail, like to walk at night, and live in tropical rain forests, subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, mountain thickets or hills, mountains and grasses below 2000 meters above sea level. Their foods include small beasts, birds, amphibians and reptiles, crustaceans, fruits and seeds of insects and plants, and so on.

The Indonesian island of Sumatra produces excellent coffee beans, which were found in masked palm civet's feces in the bushes.

Lianhe Zaobao reported on the 6th that there is a coffee garden on a mountain 100 kilometers southeast of Medan City on Sumatra Island. Every morning, operators have to go to the coffee garden to look for masked palm civet's feces and pick out coffee beans. They think masked palm civet is a natural machine for removing the pulp of coffee.

Masked palm civet specializes in eating the most mature coffee fruit, where the enzymes in the body decompose the pulp of the coffee fruit and then discharge the coffee beans. Workers collect the coffee beans, wash their feces and make a drink that is irresistible to coffee lovers.

Makoni, an assistant professor in the Department of Food Science at the University of Guelph in Canada, explained that after coffee beans enter masked palm civet's digestive system, they break down proteins into small molecules of enzymes that interact with coffee beans. When coffee beans are roasted, these low molecular weight proteins react with carbohydrates or sugars of coffee beans, giving "Ruwak Coffee" the famous natural flavor of chocolate.
