Brother, the human cruelty of the coffee trade eclipses any cat crap harvesting you could imagine. Its ironic that Kopi costs soooo much when the real (human) growers don't see nearly what they should, let alone enough for a fair life. At least the cats get to eat.

Agreed, so even from your point of view I do not like bean suppliers that would promote a fad bean for outrageous prices that the growers or workers will never benefit from. Instead of promoting the growth of better beans and the incentive of more money for a higher quality product these people are asked to gather cat poo for a bean that already tastes like cat poo before it went through the Civets digestive tract.

This is just my opinion and I don't care to support a bean supplier that is more interested in what sells even if it sucks.
