The company M.P. Mountanos, which first introduced Kopi Luwak coffee to the United States, pointed out that at first, when I heard about this kind of coffee fermented in the body, I thought it was a joke in the industry, but I didn't take it seriously. later, I saw a special report on Kopi Luwak in National Geographic Magazine and became interested in her. it took seven years to find a stable source of supply and began to introduce a small amount to the United States. What's the flavor of this coffee? Generally speaking, Indonesian coffee has the taste of mud and traditional Chinese medicine, and its consistency is the highest in all continents, but Kopi Luwak has a stronger taste and consistency, which is almost close to syrup, and its flavor is very special. If you don't like Indonesian coffee in the first place, you must hate Kopi Luwak even more. If you prefer the fishy smell of aged beans, you may love this alternative coffee. Experts who have tasted Kopi Luwak have put forward a polarized evaluation, and some people compare it to the best coffee in the world. Although it is the best, but whether you are willing to spend thousands of yuan to drink a cup of Kopi Luwak is your personal preference.

The coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, only the pulp of the fruit appearance is digested, and the hard coffee beans will be excreted by Luwak. After this digestion process, the coffee bean has a magical change, the flavor is unique, the taste is particularly mellow, which is incomparable to other coffee beans. In general, the production process of coffee beans is to remove the peel, pulp and sheep skin of the coffee fruit after the sun, and finally take out the coffee beans.
