QUOTE: Coffee lovers might think twice about exotic brews, especially ones that are made from beans found in the excrement of a Southeast Asian animal. When the civet eats coffee cherries, the fruit’s innards ferment in the animal’s stomach to make beans that cost hundreds of dollars per pound, according to the New York Times. There is a growing demand for the “smooth, chocolaty” brew in the United States, Europe, and East Asia. The Philippines and Indonesia have high populations of civets and are therefore seeing a lot of profit. But as with any market, “fake and low-grade civet coffee beans are also flooding the market.” Despite the delicious taste, the origins of the brew be enough to turn any coffee addict off.ENDQUOTE
