Yes, it is true, it's not a hoax. It is the process of separating the beans for the civets discards that make the coffee expensive.

@Nicz31 Yes, I have tried it and I have not been so impressed, it's not so good after all. I still prefer a Blue Mountain Jamaican Coffee.

Very true. The palm civet cat eats the coffee beans, the beans get fermented in their digestive system, and they poop it out. And yes, these are cleaned before it's sold in the market. Maybe it's because of the process and the fact that the palm civet is not a common animal that's why the coffee from them is expensive.

@Nicz31 It's not really rare but I'm not sure if the palm civet is endemic in the Philippines. I haven't tried the coffee, though. I haven't gotten into buying one. First it's kinda expensive and second I believe I'd have to go to Tagaytay (Cavite) to buy them.
