What exactly is civet coffee?

Coffee fruit passes through the digestive system of the civets, and only the pulp on the outside of the fruit is digested. This digestion process will destroy the protein in the coffee beans and reduce the bitter taste of the coffee. The coffee beans are discharged from the civets intact, so it is also known as "cat feces coffee." Civets are very choosy, picking out the right beans. Therefore, the taste of the roasted coffee will be richer and more mellow, fragrant and sweet!

Kopi Luwak (Indonesian civet coffee) is precious because it is hard to get. "Kopi" means "coffee" in Indonesian, and "Luwak" is an animal named "Civet." This civet was originally a wild animal in Indonesia (it is said that because it is easy to earn, Indonesia has been raised). It eats ripe red coffee fruits. After the pulp is digested in the abdomen, the coffee beans are protected by the hard core and cannot be digested. They are excreted.

The coffee beans excreted by the civet are left in the jungle. After being collected by the locals, they are washed, dried and shelled to create the world's most rare and unique "civet coffee". Due to the special chemical interaction between the acid of the civet and the fermentation of intestinal bacteria, the flavor of "Kopi Luwak" is excellent and different from ordinary coffee.

Yeah, that's right. As its name suggests, cat poop coffee is coffee made from cat poop.

Indonesian people found that coffee beans fermented by the stomach of civets were particularly thick and fragrant, so they collected civets 'droppings, sifted coffee beans, brewed and drunk. Due to the scarcity of production and the high price, civets coffee was the most expensive coffee in the world, and civets' droppings became the most expensive droppings in the world.

Experts who have tasted luwak coffee offer polarized comments. Some people compare it to the best coffee in the world. It is quite thick. The taste is unusual. It is difficult to describe it. It has a bit of earthy smell. It has a slightly choking taste and a visceral taste. It stays in the mouth for a long time until the last drop. Some people say it's hard to swallow and it's not worth spending money on stinky coffee.

Generally speaking, Indonesian coffee has an earthy and herbal flavor, and its consistency is also the highest in all continents, but Luwak's earthy flavor and consistency are stronger, its consistency is almost close to syrup, and its aroma is very special. If you don't like Indonesian coffee in the first place, you will definitely hate Luwak coffee. If you prefer the earthy smell of Indonesian aged beans or Indian wind beans, you may like Luwak coffee with similar flavor.
