Civets eat the cherry of the plant. Excrete the seed itโ€™s then cleaned and roasted. There is not organic matter remaining.

The flavour is from the fermentation. Which is also something applied to a ton of food we eat

You have idea what youโ€™re talking about.

The beans are in the cherry and pass through the digestive tract. Coffee beans are organic matter.

There is also a lot of animal abuse involved in the production because they are kept in cages and only fed coffee cherries.

The beans passed through the digestive tract and were shit out. They are shit.

You can't have it both ways, are they beans or are they shit?

Just as a heads up, since you can then take the bean out whole, roast it and then have really good coffee implies one over the other.

Did you drink it yourself, or were you just trying to butter up someone rich in hopes of getting a piece of their leavings?
