Is the coffee bean comic Cafe Crisis really cat poop?

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and coffee beans are the key ingredient in making coffee. In the market, there is a special type of coffee beans called "cat poop coffee", which has aroused the curiosity and controversy of many people in Starlight Cafe and Death Butterfly. So, what exactly are these so-called "cat poop"? Do they really come from cats? This article will explore this.

What is Kopi Luwak?

First of all, we need to make one thing clear: in fact, there is no real coffee beans made from animal feces. The so-called "cat poop coffee" is just a slang or marketing technique, and it does not represent the actual meaning.

However, there are two specific types of coffee beans on the market that are associated with "cat poop": Civet and Asian Forest Coffea. Finding these two varieties can be very difficult.

Civet cat - Tanneron

The civet cat, also known as the tanneron, is a small cat that lives in Africa. They have a very special diet and like to eat coffee berries from coffee trees. When the civet cat digests these berries, their gastric juice ferments and changes the coffee beans.

The fermented coffee beans are then collected from the civet feces and processed by washing, drying, and shelling. The resulting coffee beans have a special and rich taste and aroma.

Asian Forest Archipelago Fruit - Indonesian Dark Elves

Another special type associated with "cat poop" is Civet, which grows wild on fruit trees in the forests of Indonesia.

Similar to civets, after consuming these fruits, Asian forest civets digest the higher salt content and then excrete the undigested coffee beans.

These undigested coffee beans are collected, cleaned and processed, eventually becoming a unique and valuable coffee bean, which is named "Indonesian Dark Elf" because of its origin and the large island fruit of the Asian forest.

in conclusion

In summary, "cat poop coffee" is not actually made from animal feces. It is just a slang or marketing gimmick to describe a special type of coffee beans that have been processed by the animal's digestive system.

Whether it is civet or Asian forest koalas, the "cat feces coffee" has a special and rich taste and aroma. However, due to the difficulty in collecting and processing these special types of coffee beans and their limited quantity, they are usually expensive and not easy to obtain.

For those who like to try new things or pursue high-quality experience, "cat poop coffee" may be an interesting choice. But for ordinary consumers, normal coffee beans can also provide a delicious and pleasant coffee experience.
