Transcript:

This Filipino coffee is definitely not to everyone's taste.

It comes from beans taken from the droppings of these cat-like animals called civets.

When they are eaten, the beans are fermented in the stomach by special enzymes.

Even if you can stomach the fact it's been through an animal, the price may put you off. It can cost almost $800 a kilo.

Vocabulary:

droppings n. 鸟兽的粪便

fermented adj. 酿造;已发酵的

enzymes n. 酶

to stomach 容忍

put (you) off 阻止,使气馁,失去兴趣
