Unfortunately the reason they can’t export is because of bio hazards and no export license and sometimes it is not the genuine product. They often substitute it with ordinary low grade coffee… have the animals in cages just for show but don’t feed them coffee cherries hence it’s bland taste. And just have some scats on show to add to the deception. We got hoodwinked by sellers trying to make money. Most of the production is in Indonesia and now the civet cat has been extensively poached there. When we went to a one of the upmarket hotels in London and tried it, we could not believe the taste difference but the price was off the scale and a once in a lifetime buy.
