Kopi Luwak, known as the most expensive coffee in the world, heard about it before I went to Indonesia, and many people must be curious. In recent years, due to family reasons, I have visited Indonesia many times and have some experience to share.

Coffee fruit in a coffee garden in Bali, Indonesia

Kopi Luwak, also translated as Musk Coffee, is called "Kopi Luwak" in Indonesian. "Kopi" means coffee in Indonesian, and "Luwak" is the Indonesian local name for "Paradoxurus", a small animal that lives in trees and whose ripe red coffee fruit is one of their favorite foods.

A cup of tea Jun and his entourage saw the real Luwak in a coffee shop near the Gadway terraces, the World Heritage site in Bali, Indonesia. Of course, the guy was not in a tree, but in a cage, the little guy was well-built, climbed the cage, jumped on the bracket, and scratched his neck with his paws when he stopped.

According to reports, when "Luwak" eats coffee fruits, these coffee fruits will enter into "Luwak" 's stomach and undergo a series of chemical reactions and fermentation. These coffee fruits eventually become coffee beans and are excluded from the body through the digestive system.

The beans, which are still intact, are picked up one by one from the forest floor, washed and baked, similar to other coffee.

However, due to the unique and strange production process of "Kopi Luwak" brand Kopi Luwak, the output of Kopi Luwak is not high. It has a rich, rich aroma with a hint of caramel or chocolate.

To put it beside the point, like Luwak, these animal friends of human beings should be reasonably arranged, which must be the original intention and purpose of many animal protection organizations.

The first Kopi Luwak

A "Kopi Luwak" brand Kopi Luwak store in Jakarta, the coffee experience is something like this.

When you go to Indonesia, you should experience Kopi Luwak moderately. "Kopi Luwak" brand Kopi Luwak has specialty stores in some large shopping malls in Jakarta, Indonesia.

After sitting down, the shop assistant first took a bag or 10 grams of authentic Kopi Luwak and put it into a porcelain cup. This cup is similar to the teacup with a lid in the Great Hall of the people, except that there is a golden Luwak on the lid of this cup.

After that, add 160 milliliters of boiling water and stir. Cover, wait for at least one minute, let the coffee grounds sink to the bottom, and you can drink.

Brewing instructions

The way of brewing is very simple, no sugar, no milk. Take a sip, the impression is a little sour, naturally, the first thought is cat shit, all right!

Tasting in the forest

Kopi Luwak provided by Yogyakarta Coconut Grove Restaurant

World Heritage site Plambanan

Unlike the urban setting of the mall, order some local specialties and have a Kopi Luwak at a coconut grove restaurant by a stream near the Yogyakarta World Heritage site Prambanan in Indonesia.

No, what comes up is a pot, add some sugar, add some milk, drink Kopi Luwak, feel the beauty of nature and relax. Of course, we are not coffee lovers or experts, so we do not ask the origin, ingredients and other details of these Kopi Luwak.

To put it beside the point, with regard to coffee, I feel very friendly when I encounter these familiar foods such as spring rolls, rice and fried noodles.

The first brand of Kopi Luwak "Kopi Luwak"

According to official sources, the "Kopi Luwak" brand Kopi Luwak that was previously drunk in shopping malls and specialty stores comes from Java and Sumatra, an area famous for its perfect coffee.

The company has a registered trademark "Kopi Luwak" worldwide, which is the only official name.

The package also says that "Kopi Luwak" Kopi Luwak is the number one coffee brand in Indonesia.

"Kopi Luwak" brand "High Class" grade Kopi Luwak

Perhaps to reflect the gimmick of the world's most expensive coffee, there is a sentence on the propaganda page of "Kopi Luwak" coffee:
