Yeah and it is supposed to be some awesome coffee but I don't think I'll be drinking something a civet shit out. They are suspected of being the reason for the SARS outbreak from people eating them. You can no longer import them into the US, China prohibits the sale of them as pets and ordered the slaughter of all civets in captivity.
