Ranking of the top ten coffees in the world

After cleaning and roasting, they are called coffee beans. The price of this kind of coffee is also relatively expensive, about US$50 per pot.
3. Civet cat coffee
Civet coffee is what everyone calls cat poop coffee, and many coffee lovers are familiar with it. This coffee comes from Indonesia. Civet cats will excrete coffee bean feces after eating coffee cherries.

Since cat poop coffee is generally expensive, sometimes even reaching hundreds of dollars, it has quickly become a best-selling coffee brand on the market. But now, with the emergence of more high-quality coffee, we have more choices, and cat poop coffee has become less talked about.
