Accidentally received a bag of civet coffee, that is to say, the habit of drinking coffee was developed from fitness retraining in the past two years, and there is also some research on coffee (a very shallow study of XD), and began to know how to taste beans from different places, where expensive is cheap, where expensive is expensive, and so on.

Where on earth did civet coffee come from? To put it simply, let the civets eat the coffee beans and shit them out, and then pick up the digested coffee beans from the shit and make them into super-expensive coffee beans. There are many videos and articles from unknown sources on the Internet that these civets are made by maiming these poor civets and forcing them to eat coffee beans every day.

Although the source of the film and article is unknown, according to the human nature of loving money, these may be true, but the producing area of civet coffee is not only in Indonesia. When giving me this packet of civet coffee, my friend also stressed that these civets are naturally released in the wild and have not been abused, and the quantity is very precious, because they are special and have not been drunk before. Record and share them with you.

The box packaging is beautifully designed, and these packages are indispensable for high unit price products.

There are only about 100 grams of beans in a small packet. No wonder the unit price is very high.

Precious coffee beans will actually be a little reluctant to open to drink.

Musk cats are actually very different from our common wild cats in appearance, more like masked palm civet or white-nosed cats.

We have not bought too many professional hand-brewing coffee utensils, although it is a bit wasteful, but coffee beans have their best taste period, and they are easy to get damp if they are kept for a long time, so the best taste is gone, so use a simple travel hand-brewed coffee pot to grind the beans and brew them. The color of beans is darker than that seen on the Internet, and it is speculated that it may be the relationship of post-processing.

Grinding beans is a bit hard and happy. Such a simple mechanical action is very suitable for relaxing when the brain is overused at work. Now there is a term called "handmade" in English called hand made. Many things that people have been doing before have now become a trend. It is a kind of beautiful remembrance and memory of the old times (very good at bullshit).

It won't take long to grind it into powder. BTW, these are 100% Arabica beans, when it comes to Arabica beans, you should be more impressed by McDonald's McCaf é and strictly selected 100% Arabica coffee beans, which grow in areas of high altitude and abundant rainfall in Central and South America. This noble and delicate bean can be harvested only after 4-5 years of careful cultivation, and the yield is extremely rare!

With regard to adding water, professional coffee master friends will first take the thermometer to measure the temperature and determine the best temperature and water quality before adding water. At present, we can only try to control the range. BTW portable coffee maker is extremely convenient for travel and camping.

Professional coffee players can refer to the brewing instructions here.

Such a cup of coffee, calculated in terms of a bag of 100 grams, using 10 grams each, is equivalent to about 150 million yuan per cup, which is about 180 yuan for a large cup of Starbucks. I don't think it's necessary to drink it every day, but it's not bad to drink it once in a while as an experience. Due to the shallow baking treatment, the former fruit acidity is soft, the citrus tone is bright, with a light sweet herbal flavor. The palate is round and smooth, with a long sweetness at the end.

In short, people who are curious about the taste of civet coffee can buy a pack and brew it by themselves at home. If there are no brewing utensils at home or if they are worried about becoming a tragedy, it is suggested that google Taipei civets coffee is sold by many shops, but the price must at least double, and one can see that it sells 300 cups.

Some people drink coffee in order to refresh themselves, and some people drink civets in order to taste their lives. Nine times out of ten, they drink civets out of curiosity, because there have been some calls on the Internet that people refuse to drink civets, saying that strong consumption of coffee beans leads to mental disorders of civets, and so on. According to my actual experience of drinking, I tell you: you can drink it, but it's really not too bad to exaggerate.

Kevin sniffed curiously, PS. Cats can't drink coffee. Don't do anything stupid.
