Indonesian Musk Coffee Bean (Kopi Luwak) Kopi Luwak

Do you know the origin of the name Kopi Luwak?

Kopi Luwak is produced by the feces of Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civet) as raw materials, so it is called "Kopi Luwak". This kind of animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After completing fermentation in the coconut cat's stomach, it destroys protein, produces short peptides and more free amino acids, reduces the bitterness of coffee, and then excretes feces as the main raw material. Because coffee beans cannot be digested, they are excreted and Kopi Luwak is made after washing and baking.

Coconut cats are omnivores. In addition to eating seeds, they also eat insects, snakes, birds, amphibians and reptiles, so the feces discharged by really wild coconut cats will be mixed with all kinds of substances. Local farmers in Indonesia catch coconut cats to raise them and feed coffee beans to make them. But there is a difference between artificial cultivation and natural ones after all.

The picture below shows a batch of untreated cat poop coffee beans. If you look at the picture, you will probably know why it is called Kopi Luwak, because it is not only the excrement of civets, but also similar in shape, size and color to our normal poop. If it is not the shape of particles, I really think it is an ordinary old shit! So many friends will be deterred from laugh for the most expensive top coffee when they see this scene.

Output

The output of Kopi Luwak is very small, so it is very expensive. And the land for sale is even less. It is rare even in Indonesia of origin. Therefore, most of the Kopi Luwak sold on the market are kept artificially, and their flavor is naturally different from that of the most primitive and natural wild Kopi Luwak.
