Where do cat poop coffee beans come from?

Musk Kopi Luwak, native to Indonesia, grows a lot of coffee in Indonesia, where there is an omnivorous wild animal with a pointed mouth and dark gray fur called the civet. This kind of cat likes to eat fresh coffee beans best. after several times of fermentation and digestion, the wild cat finally becomes the cat's poop and is excreted out of the body.

The reasons why Kopi Luwak is expensive are:

The reason why cat coffee is so expensive is all due to the rarity of civets that eat coffee beans, the very small amount of undigested coffee beans, and the high consumption of raw materials in production. Despite the fact that civets are distributed in many areas, the only thing that can pull out coffee is the civet of Sumatra. The amount of undigested coffee beans produced by civets is very small, and after exquisite processing, only 150 grams of coffee beans can be extracted from 1 jin of cat droppings, and then 20% of the coffee beans are consumed again in the process of stir-frying, coupled with the unique flavor of this coffee. do you think the cat's poop can be inexpensive?

Kopi Luwak source

Kopi Luwak, produced in Indonesia, is one of the most expensive coffee in the world. Indonesia grows a lot of coffee crops, including wild animals called civets, omnivores, pointed mouths and dark gray fur. The favorite food is fresh coffee beans, which are fermented and digested in the body and eventually become the feces of cats. Feces are grains of coffee beans and become the most expensive feces in the world. Because the quantity is very rare, so the price is very expensive.

After processing and baking, Kopi Luwak has become a luxury coffee drink and spread to luxury kingdoms around the world. Local coffee farmers, in pursuit of high profits, bring wild civets home to raise them so that they can produce more Kopi Luwak. However, the Kopi Luwak produced by breeding civets will be much worse in color and taste. Even so, the output of this kind of coffee is still very rare, and it is not affordable for all people who like coffee.

The coffee comes from the excrement of an animal called Luwak (commonly known as the civet in Indonesia). Although it comes from smelly poop, it is full of sweetness and a burst of indescribable sweetness. This wild musk cat likes to eat fat, multi-paddled coffee fruits, but the hard hard nuts (raw beans) cannot be digested and are excreted with feces. After being cleaned, they become Kopi Luwak coffee raw beans! So many people call it "cat shit" coffee. Indonesians found that the coffee beans fermented by the civets' intestines and stomach are particularly thick and mellow, so they collect civets' feces, sift out the coffee beans and brew them to drink. Because the yield is rare and the fermentation process is unique, the flavor is very different from that of ordinary coffee. Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or sun-treated to remove the peel, pulp and sheep skin, and finally take out the coffee beans. However, Luwak uses natural fermentation in the body to remove the coffee beans, so it has a special flavor.
