"peaberry" is a variety of coffee beans. The common bean can be said to be a flaw in botanical theory, and there are two causes, one of which is that coffee is damaged by insects before forming fruit, and it may also be due to the influence of factors such as prolonged drought or uneven nutrition of coffee trees, in addition, coffee beans growing at the ends of the branches of coffee trees also have the opportunity to appear this phenomenon.

In a normal coffee tree, when the fruit is ripe, there is no distinction between the male bean and the mother bean. Only by peeling off the fruit can you see the shape of the bean inside. If the raw coffee bean is clearly divided into two parts, like a split peach, this is the "mother" bean. If you roll a whole round bean, it is called a "public bean".

Only 5% of a coffee tree is male beans and the rest are female beans. In fact, male beans are deformities that occur during the growth of coffee beans. In general, coffee beans have two pieces of beans, but there is only one piece of beans, also known as "single bean". A piece of beans absorb more nutrients, coffee beans color, shape, particles are relatively large, boiled coffee fragrance is constantly sweet, the number is relatively small, so it is also known as "Dream Coffee".

However, because the number is too small, only a few coffee beans are male beans in an average of 100 coffee beans. Generally speaking, coffee growers are not particularly singled out to sell, and this difference is really difficult to find if you do not directly hit or contact the scene of the place of origin. Of course, there are individual merchants who will sell public beans. But as the saying goes, things are rare and expensive, and of course coffee is more expensive than beans (only about 5 out of 100).

Male bean coffee is picked out one by one from the mixed coffee beans. Most of the coffee powder sold in the market is a mixture of public beans and mother beans.

This is the mature coffee bean that grows on the tree to be picked. It looks like a cherry, and the core in the flesh is the coffee bean.

Kopi Luwak is a vulgar name given by the people of Hong Kong. In fact, it has a romantic name: civet Coffee (civet coffee).

Let's first learn what a civet (civet) is. The civet is most species of the civet family (pictured above). Their bodies are small and soft, and most of them inhabit trees. It usually looks like a cat, but the nose is long and even pointed, a bit like an otter or an otter. Civet cats vary in length, not counting the tail is about 0.4-0.7 meters long and weighs 1-5 kilograms.

Civet cats are an important source of stabilizers in perfumes, and they have been killed in large numbers. Musk cat's perianal gland will remain around its musk excretion, in order to obtain these substances, it is necessary to scrape its perianal gland, which will make the civet very painful. Both male and female civets excrete these strongly odorous faeces.

The civet mainly feeds on coffee beans. After the coffee beans are fermented in the civet coffee stomach, they destroy the protein, produce short peptides and more free amino acids, the bitter taste of the coffee will be reduced, and the feces discharged will be the main raw materials. as the coffee beans cannot be digested, they will be excreted and become civet coffee after washing and baking. Coffee critic Chris Rubin said, "the aroma of the wine is so rich and strong, and the coffee is incredibly rich, almost like syrup." Its thickness and chocolate taste, and lingering on the tongue for a long time, pure aftertaste. "

Civets are omnivorous animals. Apart from eating seeds, they also eat insects, snakes, birds, amphibians and reptiles, so the feces emitted by truly wild civets will be mixed with all kinds of substances. Some farmers in Indonesia catch coconut cats and feed them coffee beans to make civet coffee. But after all, there are some differences between artificial cultivation and natural ones.

The production of civet coffee is very small and therefore very expensive. And the land for sale is even less. It is rare even in Indonesia of origin. Therefore, most of the civet coffee sold in the market is artificially raised, and its flavor is naturally different from that of the most primitive and natural wild Kopi Luwak.

In Indonesian, Kopi means coffee and Luwak means civet. The natural origin and artificial farms of civet coffee are mainly concentrated in Indonesia's islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Sulawesi, as well as the Philippines and some places. It is one of the most expensive coffee in the world, about 1 kilogram of HK$3080. And a cup of 12 grams of coffee powder rushed out of the "Kopi Luwak", the price is about HK$480.
