The most expensive coffee bean Kopi Luwak in shit

If someone asks what is the most expensive coffee in the world, and you still reply that it is Blue Mountain Coffee, then you will be lagging behind. The Blue Mountain one, which has a price reduction of $120 a kilogram this year, is obviously unable to match the price of nearly $1000 a kilogram. KopiLuwak (Kopi Luwak) is more expensive. KopiLuwak is Indonesian, kopi means coffee, and Luwak is a local weasel name, so KopiLuwak locals are used to translating it into weasel coffee. In China, because of the need for text beautification, it has become musk deer fragrant cat coffee. Popular, it is called Kopi Luwak directly, but it is also appropriate, because KopiLuwak is after Luwak swallowed the coffee pulp. Because I can't digest the coffee beans, I pulled out the whole coffee beans. The KopiLuwak of the Indonesian Pavilion at the 2010 World Expo is as high as 380 yuan for 20 grams. This year, the purchase price of Fortune Land is about 1000 US dollars per kilogram, or 6.8 yuan per gram, plus 20% missing weight when raw beans are processed into ripe beans. In addition, taking into account customs duties, freight, rent and labor, the price of the Indonesian Pavilion is very kind.

So why is KopiLuwak so expensive? There are four reasons:

1. The good quality remains the same. Because Luwak only eats coffee beans with just the right maturity, it is tantamount to picking out the best quality coffee beans in the past. 2. Special fermentation technology to cultivate special taste. 3. Luwak is not a good house cat and will poop in cat litter, so local coffee farmers need to search everywhere for these expensive poop. The output is limited, and the annual output of wild Kopi Luwak is only about 500lb (about 240kg). Things are rare, and the primary value of KopiLuwak is still its rarity at the moment.
