Sources of Kopi Luwak, main features of Kopi Luwak

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

Kopi Luwak is made in Indonesia. In the early 18th century, the Dutch established coffee plantations in the Indonesian colonies of Sumatra and Java, and banned locals from picking and eating their own coffee fruits.

Locals living in Indonesia also inadvertently find that civets like to eat these coffee fruits and drain them intact when defecating.

Musk cats only choose the most ripe and sweetest coffee beans, which in itself is a natural screening. Second, locals find that these beans are fermented by the cat's stomach to produce coffee that tastes better than ordinary ones.

Mellow and delicious Kopi Luwak has gradually become famous and become a hot product in the international market.

Main features of Kopi Luwak

Coffee beans generally go through the process of shell fermentation, coffee beans in the civets' intestines, special bacteria provide a unique fermentation environment, the flavor becomes unique, particularly thick and mellow. The coffee beans fermented by civets' intestines and stomach are very thick and mellow.

Eva, the owner of Special Cafe, is a coffee enthusiast who travels around the world every year in search of rare goods. She told reporters that the "Kopi Luwak" was once a tribute from Indonesia to the Dutch royal family.

At that time, the industry regarded the coffee with the name "cat shit" as a joke, and people didn't get interested in the Kopi Luwak until it was specially reported in National Geographic magazine.

High price

The Kopi Luwak Initiative is the least produced coffee in the world. A bag of 50 grams of coffee beans costs more than 800 yuan, and only 5 cups of coffee can be brewed.

In other words, the price of a cup is about 200 yuan. The civet coffee gift box produced by Fireboat Group, Indonesia's largest coffee supplier, sells for 600,50g at Shangpin Cafe with extremely luxurious packaging, while the asking price for 100g is more than 2000 yuan, and the global annual output in the wild does not exceed 400kg.

Today, villagers in these areas not only collect wild Rwaka feces, but also begin to raise Rwaka in captivity.

Large pots of picked coffee cherries were placed in front of Rwaka, and the hungry Rwaka had no choice but to eat all the coffee cherries.

The taste of Rwaka coffee produced in this way is naturally greatly reduced.

"scarcity is precious", which has led to the high price of Kopi Luwak, a rare treasure. I'm afraid you'll have to prepare £50 for a cup of coffee, and you may not be able to find it everywhere.
