Civet coffee is a special kind of coffee prepared from coffee beans that have been eaten, digested, and defecated by the Asian palm civet cat, a small cat-like mammal that enjoys eating ripe, luscious coffee cherries. The pooped-out coffee beans, protected by a thin parchment because digestion doesn’t destroy the bean’s tough outer husk, are then washed, dried, husked, and roasted to make for a delicious cup of coffee. The special thing about civet coffee is the fermentation process that occurs

Philippines Palm Civet Cat; also known as the “musang,” is a small mammal that plays a unique role in the production of kopi luwak, one of the world’s most expensive coffees. The civet eats ripe coffee cherries, and the beans pass through its digestive system. After being collected from its feces, the beans are cleaned and roasted to produce the distinctive coffee. It’s an interesting intersection of nature and coffee culture! #civet #animals #animallover #animalworld #fbreelsfypシ゚ #fbreelsvideo
