Kopi Luwak tastes good. Does Kopi Luwak taste good?

Luwak coffee remains a veritable luxury on the international market, not least because it is made not by humans but by wild animals. Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or sun-dried to remove the peel, pulp and sheepskin layer, and finally the coffee beans are taken out, but Luwak coffee is made by natural fermentation in wild animals. Moreover, these wild animals are only found on small islands like Indonesia. The time and place of their appearance are mysterious, and their numbers are decreasing day by day. Indonesia has claimed that conservation and breeding have helped keep the civets stable, but the digestive system that created them to tempt human taste buds has nothing to do with industrial-age products.

unique flavor

Indonesian cat coffee with earthy and herbal flavor, consistency is also the highest in all continents. But "cat poop coffee" has a stronger earthy smell and a consistency closer to syrup, with a very special aroma. After drinking, there will still be a faint mint cool feeling in the mouth, which is the "exclusive taste" that ordinary coffee does not have. After drinking a cup, take a deep breath or take a mouthful of cold water, you can obviously feel a cool sensation from the mouth to the throat, as if you just ate a mint throat lozenge.

Experts say the Indonesian civet has a gland near its sex organs that secretes milky oil, which has long been a precious ingredient in perfume. Even Shakespeare's play King Lear has such a dialogue: "Please give me some civet oil to stimulate my inspiration." Another said: "This coffee is unique, it is a specialty of Indonesia. Drinking it is like finding a diamond in a stone." Because the wild civet is obviously better at picking good coffee fruits, this coffee has a unique character.

"Civets" are omnivores. They are solitary and nocturnal. They inhabit tropical rain forests, subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, mountain shrubs or hills, mountains, grass and other places below 2000 meters above sea level. Its food includes small mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles, crustaceans, insects and plant fruits, seeds and so on. "Civet" likes to choose the most ripe, sweet, full and juicy coffee fruit in the coffee tree as food, and the coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, only the pulp of the fruit is digested, and the hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the "civet" digestive system. This is the "natural fermentation method" that was once scorned by Americans. It is said that when Americans heard that there was a way to make coffee in this way, they thought it was a fantasy until it was reported by National Geographic magazine.
