[production skills]

1. Indonesians remove the silver-gray film on the appearance of coffee beans, wash them with water, dry them in the sun, and then stir-fry them to become cat poop coffee beans.

2. Only about 150 grams of coffee beans can be extracted from a jin of civets' feces, which will cause 20% loss in the roasting process. Due to the unique raw materials and production process, this kind of coffee can be said to be very rare. No more than 400 kilograms of coffee beans are supplied worldwide every year.

3. Traditionally, the 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 the method of natural fermentation in vivo to take out the coffee beans, so it has a special flavor.

How much is Kopi Luwak?

Prices vary from place to place, the information I checked before: the normal price of authentic Kopi Luwak coffee beans is about 2500 yuan per pound (454grams, already roasted). Some shops are fake goods will be much cheaper, about a thousand, some are hardcover versions from 45,000 to 11000 pounds have a cup of coffee normally use 10 grams of coffee beans.

That is, the material cost of a cup is 55 yuan. Taking into account the store rent, staff wages and profits, it is normal for a genuine cup of Kopi Luwak to sell for more than 200 yuan. Of course, there are relatively few Kopi Luwak, and most profiteers will borrow the English words of the civet breed to repeat masked palm civet, claiming that masked palm civet is the civet. It actually belongs to the cat family, but it's not a breed.

But even the authentic Kopi Luwak has been rated as junk coffee by several senior figures in SCAA. In fact, the essence of Kopi Luwak is hype; note: SCAA is the largest, most professional and most authoritative coffee trade association in the world, and a trade organization focusing on high-quality coffee. Founded in 1982, SCAA has more than 3, 000 member companies in more than 40 countries around the world, covering all areas of the coffee industry.
