My coffee tastes like shit. Really good shit!
Weird looking like fucker, ain’t it?
I was inspired to write about this little red eyed sucker by a friend who is obsessed by the feline fancying of my ex. Actually, she is obsessed by the size of his dingus, but that’s another story - a story I just don’t have the stomach to share. Although, when my friend was trying to be a smart ass, it inspired me to share with you all my love of exquisite coffee. Don’t ask how the train of thought went that-a-way. My mind is a derailment.
Fellow caffeine addicts; let me introduce to you Paradoxurus Hermaphroditus. No, that’s not an enigma that can fuck itself; that fuzzy little critter is the Indonesian Palm Civet. And that little bastard produces some mighty fine shit.
This weird little fucker hangs around the coffee plantations of Indonesia, and his or her favourite food is the coffee cherry. It chews the pulpy fruit off the coffee bean and finds the bean indigestible. It’s a bit like grannies who chew the choccy off the hard centres and leave the rest for some poor bastard. But unlike granny going the gummer (not that type of gummer, you filthy sods) the civet gives that added oooooooooooooh fuck yeah to the beans. End result “kopi luwak”
Now I’ve swilled some shit coffee in my time.
- Hospital coffee.
- Gloria Jeans. (How dare they try to pass this dingo piss off as coffee)
- Starbucks. (I like it brewed, not stewed, asshats)
- Instant coffee of any variety (GET ME A BUCKET!!!!!!)
- Any coffee brewed by the good folk of the golden arches.
So, in conclusion, if I’m going to drink shit coffee – it’s going to be the real shit.

I wonder if they have underage workers going through the shit to get the beans? I can just picture a bunch of nine and ten year olds chasing after these critters to go through their shit.

….and this is probably why I stick to tea!! Mostly. Unless there is alcohol. These critters don’t shit the alcohol too do they??! Egads! The thought of it !!

Lordy I’m blessing my cuppa tea right in front of me and thinking of planting my own coffee trees ..though the bloody possums will probably copy their beady eyed cousin

Hi there. Civet Coffee has long been one of my favourite “secrets” but it seems it’s about to go public for good. Anyway, I made a small animation about civet-coffee, some time back, and this seems to be a good opportunity to share it:

Widdleshamrock: Thanks so much.
Evyl: I’m sure the workers get paid shit, and not the good shit, either. I have no doubt that there are disreputable practices regarding the workers. *sigh*
Scrappydo: Want me to tell you what sort of bug life crawls over your tea leaves? Damn, I’m a bitch. And Ceylon tea (grown in Sri Lanka) is harvested by workers who don’t give a toss about hygiene when there’s no plumbing around.
Jayne: Just wring the shit out of the possums.
T. Benjamin Larsen: You’re one funny dude.
Bettina: Aww, you’ll make me blush.

Yeah cheers for that Anja! Maybe I should make the switch to Green tea?? …umm…no? Damn, I’ll just stick to the shiraz then I guess

I don’t really give a shit so long as it tastes good. If we knew the half of how things are made or harvested we’d fucking starve!
