There's a kind of coffee that's found in civet cat poop.

This is a kind of coffee beans made by using the intestines of civet cats as fermentation dregs. There is a local civet cat in Indonesia that likes to eat ripe coffee cherries. The coffee beans in the berries will not be digested and will be excreted in the stool. After the civet cats pass the coffee beans

The intestines are constantly fermented by the bacteria in the intestines, and what is released is the fermented coffee beans. Because of the special taste, an unknown scholar nicknamed it "Civet Coffee", but it should actually be called "Civet Coffee"

"Shit Coffee" (you probably won't be able to sell it with this name), and the bacteria in the intestines of civet cats are very complex, so the fermented coffee beans (locally called kopiluwak) have a particularly complex smell, and because of the bacterial composition of each civet cat

They are all different, and the taste of the coffee beans that come out varies greatly. Just like a wine connoisseur or a cheese connoisseur, some people just like to taste this variety of coffee with a special taste. Because the output is rare, the price is also very expensive.

A pound sells for about $300 to $600.
