Civets love coffee beans, and hence tend to eat a lot of them. Some coffee farm workers while working in their farm some times back and felt the urge to have coffee but the law of the farm says they cannot take from the farm’s produce, they were forced to pick up coffee beans from civet dungs. They realized it tasted better in its fermented state and boom!
