Kopi Luwak "is the least produced coffee in the world. A bag of 50 grams of coffee beans is worth more than 800yuan. It can only make five cups of coffee." In other words, the price of a cup is about 200 yuan. The civet coffee gift box produced by Fireboat Group, Indonesia's largest coffee supplier, sells for 600,50g at Shangpin Cafe with extremely luxurious packaging, while the asking price for 100g is more than 2000 yuan, and the global annual output in the wild does not exceed 400kg. Today, villagers in these areas not only collect wild Rwaka feces, but also begin to raise Rwaka in captivity. Large pots of picked coffee cherries were placed in front of Rwaka, and the hungry Rwaka had no choice but to eat all the coffee cherries. The taste of Rwaka coffee produced in this way is naturally greatly reduced. "scarcity is precious", which has led to the high price of Kopi Luwak, a rare treasure. I'm afraid you'll have to prepare £50 for a cup of coffee, and you may not be able to find it everywhere.

A cup of coffee made from 12 grams of cat shit coffee powder sponsored by the Fireboat Group at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo costs 380 yuan, which is limited to 12 cups a day in short supply.

In Bali, a cup costs more than 200,000 rupiah, equivalent to more than 150 RMB.

In the United States, 1 kilogram of cat poop coffee beans is as high as USD 1200. It is always around USD 1000 in the international market.

"civets" are omnivores. They are withdrawn by nature and like to walk at night. They live in tropical rain forests, subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, mountain thickets or hills, mountains and grasses below 2000 meters above sea level. Its food includes small beasts, birds, amphibians and reptiles, crustaceans, fruits and seeds of insects and plants. The civet likes to choose the most mature, sweet, juicy coffee fruit in the coffee tree as food, while the coffee fruit passes through its digestive system and is digested only by the pulp on the outside of the fruit. The hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the civets' digestive system. This is the "natural fermentation method" that was once scoffed by Americans. It is said that when Americans heard about this way of making coffee, it was regarded as a fantasy, and it was not until it was reported by National Geographic that they became interested in it.

This digestion process, so that coffee beans have an unparalleled magical change, the flavor tends to be unique, the taste is particularly mellow, rich and round sweet taste is also unmatched by other coffee beans. This is due to the fact that the civets' digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the coffee much less bitter and increasing the round taste of the coffee beans. Experts say there is a gland near the sexual organs of the Indonesian "civet" that secretes milky oil, which has always been a precious raw material for the perfume industry. Even Shakespeare's play King Lear has this dialogue: "Please give me some civet oil to stimulate my inspiration." Others said, "this coffee is unique and is a specialty of Indonesia." Drink it, it's like finding a diamond in a stone. " Because the wild "civets" are obviously better at selecting good coffee fruits, so that this kind of coffee has outstanding characteristics.

Experts who have tasted this kind of coffee have gone to two extremes in their comments on its taste. One describes the coffee as "the best in the world". The taste is so unusual that it is difficult to describe in words and words: "with a bit of dirt, slightly choking and visceral taste, it won't go away in the mouth for a long time until the last drop." Another evaluation is quite the opposite: "it's hard to swallow, it's a complete gimmick, and it's not worth paying for stinky coffee." According to coffee experts, most of the Ruwak coffee is low-altitude robusta beans, which proves that civets prefer robusta to high-altitude Arabica beans. Generally speaking, Indonesian coffee has the taste of earth and traditional Chinese medicine, and its consistency is the highest in all continents, but Ruwak has a stronger taste and consistency, which is almost close to syrup, and its flavor is very special. if you don't like Indonesian coffee in the first place, you must hate Ruwak coffee even more. if you prefer the fishy smell of Indonesian aged beans or Indian-style beans, you may fall in love with Ruwak coffee with similar flavor.
