The origin of cat shit coffee:

Cat poop coffee is a rare Arabica coffee bean grown in the central mountainous area of Assaki, Sumatra, Indonesia. It is an extremely rare and unique coffee.

Cat shit coffee comes from:

Arabica coffee has been grown extensively on the Indonesian island of Sumatra since the 16th century and is internationally known for its superior quality and superior flavor. Sumatra is home to cat poop coffee, also known as Civet coffee. When coffee berries ripen, they are eaten by the animal, also known as the Asian palm civet. Ripe red coffee cherries are a favorite food for civet cats, and this coffee is locally known as Luwak in Indonesia. Civets are picky eaters, seeking only ripe, sweet coffee berries.

The berries swallowed by the civet are digested and fermented by a unique enzyme secreted by its stomach to break down the original protein structure, giving the coffee a unique taste. Coffee beans are excreted intact, collected, thoroughly washed, and lightly roasted to preserve the coffee's proper and distinctive flavor.

Although cat poop coffee is native to Indonesia, the highest quality cat poop coffee beans come from the Asaki Mountains in northern Sumatra.

Cat poop coffee producing area:

Sumatra is the world's largest producer of cat poop coffee. The island's fertile volcanic ash soil and cool mountain climate create ideal conditions for growing cat poop coffee, which is widely admired for its rich flavor and unusual way of obtaining it.

Name: Kopi Luwak Cat Poop Coffee

Origin: Indonesia Indonesia

Grading:

Explanation: For a coffee fan, drinking a cup of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is not a dream, but drinking a cup of "Kopi Luwak"(cat poop coffee) is really a lifetime regret. Kopi Luwak, which is rare and expensive, has a global production of no more than 120 pounds a year. In North America and Europe, it costs more than NT$20,000 per pound. If you only taste one cup, the first brew of Kopi Luwak will cost NT$3,600, and the second cup will cost NT$2,500.

What is so special about this rare coffee-"Kopi Luwak"? There is a wild civet named Luwak in the mountains of Indonesia who likes to eat fat and ripe coffee fruit, but the hard fruit core (raw beans) cannot be digested and discharged with feces. After cleaning, it becomes "Kopi Luwak" coffee raw beans! Therefore, many people also call it "cat shit" coffee.

Indonesian people found that coffee beans fermented by civet intestines were particularly thick and fragrant, so they collected civet feces, sifted coffee beans, and brewed to drink. Due to the scarcity of production and the unique fermentation process, the flavor was greatly different from ordinary coffee. Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or sun-treated to remove the skin, pulp and sheepskin layer, and finally the coffee beans are extracted. However, Luwak uses natural fermentation in vivo to extract the coffee beans, so it has a special flavor. Ordinary coffee will not only spoil but also lose its aroma when it is brewed to the second brew, but Kopi Luwak can be brewed to the third brew. Each cup tastes different, and the only thing that is the same is that it still retains the aroma of Luwak." This "cat shit" coffee, which is 10 times more expensive than Blue Mountain Coffee, is always full of scoundrels and sells for a high price. Therefore, it has become the most difficult and expensive cup of coffee in the world.

This batch of cat feces coffee is wild cat feces coffee. The wild civets will look for the most mature coffee to eat by themselves. Unlike the artificially raised civets, due to the poor environment and eating only coffee fruits picked by humans, it is easy to cause civets to get sick or even die in the long run. Therefore, the artificially raised civets are easy to cause the most important "digestive enzymes" in the body to be killed by bad bacteria due to their unhealthy nature. They cannot produce the most important enzyme conversion with coffee. Even produce toxins, so please try not to eat artificially raised cat feces coffee.
