Chapter 123 Black Card
"Mr. Li, although the raw material is indeed the excrement of civet cats, it has all been processed, so there’s nothing unclean."
Seeing Li Jing’s expression, Xu Wan quickly explained, "Moreover, the fermentation and processing through the civet cat’s digestive system change the texture and composition of the coffee beans, making the brewed coffee liquid more concentrated, with better fullness and richness, creating a distinct layering sensation in the mouth."
Beside them, An Tong also nodded in agreement and said, "I heard that civet coffee is one of the most expensive coffees, with a cup costing at least several hundred or even more."
Li Jing took the tissue passed by Xu Wan and wiped his mouth. After listening to her explanation, he felt a little better.
But looking at the brown coffee in his hand, thinking that it came from a cat’s excrement, he still felt a bit uncomfortable and simply put the cup down, "Forget it, I still prefer tea."
"Tea? Okay, I’ll switch to tea for you right away, that was my oversight."
Xu Wan immediately responded, took away the coffee that Li Jing put down, and said, "I’ll brew you a cup of West Lake Longjing, how about that?"
For someone like Li Jing who came from a small city, he didn’t really understand coffee or premium tea, so he just nodded casually and asked them to prepare it.
Looking at An Tong still savoring the civet coffee, Li Jing asked, "Don’t you find it unsettling?"
"Not at all, I think it tastes quite good."
An Tong shook his head slightly and then answered, "This is the first time I’m drinking such expensive coffee. Even if it didn’t taste good, I’d still finish it, let alone the fact that it actually tastes pretty good."
Hearing this, Li Jing helplessly shook his head.
