The taste of civet coffee is very mellow. Introduction to the characteristics of fine coffee in the manor area.

The cat has a special ability of orientation, which is guided by the incense secreted by the cystic incense glands. When it is active, all the prominent objects along the way, such as tree trunks, stakes and stone edges in its habitat, will often be foamed with the secretions of incense glands, commonly known as "wiping stakes". This kind of scrubbing acts as a marker in the field, but also plays a role of communication with other similar species. When it gets food or encounters an enemy, it can accurately return to the cave as quickly as possible following the route indicated by the mark left behind. The characteristic of this secretion is that the smell is volatile and lasts for a long time, so it is suitable for big cats to be at a certain distance from the cave, or there are plant obstacles in the space. and when the interval is longer, the civet mainly lives in the tropical rain forest in the hills, mountains and other areas below 2100 meters above sea level, in the forest edge bushes and grass of the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest. Rock caves, soil caves or tree caves were selected as habitat sites. In the 1950s, the resources of Chinese great cats were estimated to exceed 200000. After long-term overhunting, the population decreased rapidly year by year. By the early 1980s, the natural population of Chinese great cats was less than 20, 000. By the early 1990s, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, southern Anhui, Guizhou and other places have been very rare. The civet population is in danger in China. The civet cat is a kind of wild animal. Civet incense is a unique natural secretion of this animal. In the wild state, the ointment is smeared on the stones, tree trunks and other protruding objects on the way of activity. It is used as a domain mark, sexual temptation, etc., is an indispensable substance for the survival of the civet. It secretes incense several times a day, and the location is extremely unstable. When the temperature is above 25 degrees, it is extremely unstable. The ointment will become liquid loss and volatilization. So it's hard for people to get civet fragrance. In the past, in order to get civet incense, regardless of size, male and female hunted from the wild and adopted the most primitive way of "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs". Hunting and killing a civet can only get about 2 grams of civet ointment, and every kilogram of civet scent requires about 500 cats to be hunted. in addition, in recent years, people lack of understanding of the value of civet, and put the civet on the table as first-class game, so it is a pity to waste resources. It is also one of the main reasons why the civet resources are on the verge of extinction.

Civet is a nocturnal animal that lives in the jungle and eats very little. Coffee beans produced by wild civets are very rare. Only in captivity can more Kopi Luwak be obtained. Some unscrupulous traders keep the animals in small, dirty cages, forcing them to keep eating. They are on the verge of collapse, biting each other's companions, biting each other's legs, pulling blood, and dying one after another. Kopi Luwak is produced by the feces of Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civet) as raw materials, so it is called Kopi Luwak. This kind of animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After completing fermentation in the coconut cat's stomach, it destroys protein, produces short peptides and more free amino acids, reduces the bitterness of coffee, and then excretes feces as the main raw material. Because coffee beans cannot be digested, they are excreted and Kopi Luwak is made after washing and baking. Coffee critic Chris Rubin said, "the aroma of the wine is so rich and strong, and the coffee is incredibly rich, almost like syrup." Its thickness and chocolate taste, and lingering on the tongue for a long time, the pure aftertaste in the process of digestion, so that the 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 because the civet's digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the coffee much less bitter due to the protein, but increasing the round taste of the coffee beans after processing and roasting. Kopi Luwak has become a luxury coffee drink and spread to luxury kingdoms around the world. Local coffee farmers, in pursuit of high profits, bring wild civets home to raise them so that they can produce more Kopi Luwak. However, the Kopi Luwak produced by breeding civets will be much worse in color and taste. Even so, the output of this kind of coffee is still very rare, and it is not affordable for all people who like coffee.
