Kopi Luwak, in Indonesian, "Kopi" means coffee, and "Luwak" is the name commonly known by Indonesians as "civet". It is said that the coffee produces no more than 500 pounds a year, and the price per pound ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the year, because there is not a fixed production every year. It is the poop of an arboreal wild animal called "Musk Cat" on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, and through several processes such as selection, drying, deodorization, processing and baking, it produces the rarest, most unique and most expensive coffee in the world.
Principle of ● production
Civets like to choose the most ripe, sweet, juicy coffee oars in coffee trees as food. On the other hand, the coffee oar fruit passes through its digestive system, only the pulp on the outside of the fruit is digested, and the hard coffee beans inside are fermented in the civet's stomach, and the digestive system is excreted intact. This digestion process, so that the coffee beans have an unparalleled magical change, unique flavor, the coffee taste is particularly mellow, rich and round sweet taste is also unmatched by other coffee beans. This is due to the fact that the civets' digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the coffee much less bitter and increasing the round taste of the coffee beans.
Because the wild musk cat is obviously better at selecting good coffee fruits, it is a natural coffee picker, and the selected coffee is the best, which makes this kind of coffee have outstanding characteristics.
● has a unique flavor.
What's the flavor of this coffee? Indonesian coffee generally has the taste of earth and traditional Chinese medicine, and its consistency is the highest in all continents, but the Kopi Luwak has a stronger earthy taste and consistency and a special flavor. After drinking, there will still be a touch of mint cool feeling in the mouth, which is the "exclusive flavor" that ordinary coffee does not have.
If you don't like Indonesian coffee in the first place, you may hate "Kopi Luwak". If you prefer the fishy smell of aged beans and don't care much about the "origin" of "Kopi Luwak" (er, let's call it heavy taste -), you may fall in love with this kind of alternative coffee. Experts who have tasted "Kopi Luwak" generally have only two comments: "wonderful" and "terrible"! Anyway, you have no objection to saying that it is the best coffee in the world.
Experts say there is a gland near the sexual organs of the Indonesian "civet", which secretes milky oil, which has always been a precious raw material for the perfume industry. If you just thought about giving your lazy cat some coffee fruit and asking it to make some Kopi Luwak, give it up.
● brewing mode
The aroma of "Kopi Luwak" is easier to lose than ordinary coffee. In order to maintain the flavor, coffee beans should be packaged independently, and the production process is complicated and rigorous. If you want to enjoy the true taste of Kopi Luwak, it is recommended not to add sugar or milk to your coffee. Using a Siphon siphon, add 160ml (ml) of pure water, pour 17g (grams) of 2 flat spoons of coffee powder, and gently press down the raised coffee powder with flat bamboo slices after the water boils up. Remember! Do not stir, otherwise the coffee will become bitter, sour and astringent.
The water temperature is 96 ℃, the water pressure is 9-10atm, boil for about 1 minute 45 seconds-2 minutes quickly remove the fire source and wipe the glass bottle with a cold wet cloth to make it cool rapidly, the brewed coffee will quickly fall and show a large number of golden fine foam, so that the ultimate flavor can be achieved. In the general way of brewing, some people say that civet coffee can be brewed 3 times, but the above brewing method is regarded as the most essence after boiling for a long time, so rebrewing is not recommended.
● distinguishing between true and false
Nowadays, fake Kopi Luwak products are rampant in the market. even if it has been industrialized, the production of real civet coffee is still very low. Most of the civet coffee on the market is either coffee beans fermented in other animals or simply impersonated by ordinary coffee beans. 99% of consumers can't tell the difference in coffee taste at all.
Therefore, today the editor is going to tell you how to identify the real "Kopi Luwak":
The special flavor of ● Kopi Luwak mainly comes from:
1. The peculiar body smell of the civet itself.
two。 The digestion process consumes a lot of sugar
Taste that is very special, there is no way, consumption of sugar has any taste effect, less sugar, less bitterness formed by coking in the process of baking and heating. With a special fragrance and no bitterness, many people think it tastes good. If it tastes good and little, it is expensive.
● Real civet Coffee (Kopi Luwak) Raw beans pay attention to its shape: clean and easy to disperse.
The civet uses coffee berries as the staple food for beans in the ripe season. After complete digestion, the sugar is consumed and the beans in the shit lose stickiness. Coffee beans will not stick together, pull out a dry, will soon spread out, sparse pull is a single state.
Finally, ● would like to remind you that Kopi Luwak does have a unique flavor, and "scarcity is precious", but at best it can only be regarded as a "curiosity-hunting variety". Coffee cultivation and production has a long history, has long formed a complex and rigorous system, for high-quality coffee has a clear definition, really love coffee, should know more about the origin and taste of coffee knowledge, do not need to spend Kopi Luwak so high price, you can taste really good coffee.
