Indonesian Sumatra Cat Poop Coffee Kopi Luwak Boutique Coffee

When buying coffee beans, you can often see the label "sun","washed" or "honey treatment", what does it mean? In fact, this represents the processing method of coffee beans. Different coffee producing areas, due to the influence of weather, climate, resources, etc., have different processing methods, and the processing method of coffee beans determines the taste and quality of coffee to a large extent.

One of the more common is the sun and washing treatment method, but in recent years, there is a high quality and rare coffee green bean treatment method also slowly approached people's life, that is, animal fermentation treatment method. The most typical is the civet coffee (cat poop coffee).

In fact, its principle is also very simple, that is, the use of lactic acid bacteria and digestive juice in the animal digestive tract, instead of machinery or washing, remove the flesh and attached pod surface pectin. These beans are excreted with feces, and after washing, they are precious beans fermented in the body. In addition to the often heard civets, there are actually crested pheasants, monkeys, elephants, etc., but the latter have not formed a scale, only civets stand out.

It is expensive and rare, mainly because not all cats or animals can have the blessing to enjoy coffee feast, only wild animals have this ability, and their appearance time, place is mysterious, and the number is decreasing day by day. Its greatest taste characteristics are soft flavor, taste multiplication, of course, its basic flavor also depends on the type of coffee the civet eats.

Therefore, many people saw this business opportunity and began to catch and breed a large number of civet cats. They kept feeding coffee beans, thus producing more cat feces coffee for profit. It was extremely cruel.
