Sumatra is the hometown of Kopi Luwak, Kopi Luwak is also known as Civet coffee. When the coffee berries are ripe, they are eaten by this animal, also known as the Asian palm civet. The cherry-shaped berries of ripe red coffee, known locally in Indonesia as Luwak, is a favorite food for civets. The civet is a picky eater, only looking for ripe and sweet coffee berries.

The berries swallowed by the civets break the original protein structure by a unique enzyme secreted in its stomach, and then digest and ferment, giving the coffee a unique taste. Coffee beans are discharged from the body in the case of intact protection. People collect them, wash them thoroughly, and maintain the coffee's proper and unique taste after light roasting.

Kopi Luwak rating:

Explanation: for a coffee fan, having a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is not a dream, but drinking a cup of "Kopi Luwak" (Kopi Luwak) is a lifetime without regret. The global output of the scarce "Kopi Luwak" does not exceed 120lb a year. Retail prices in North America and Europe cost more than NT $20,000 a pound. If you only crave one cup, the first "Kopi Luwak" will cost NT$3,600, and the second will be as high as NT$2500.

What's so special about this rare coffee-"Kopi Luwak"? There is a kind of wild musk cat named Luwak in the mountains of Indonesia, which likes to eat ripe coffee fruit with fat and multi-oars, but the hard hard nut (raw bean) cannot be digested. It is excreted with feces, washed and becomes a "Kopi Luwak" coffee raw bean! Therefore, many people call it "cat shit" coffee.

Indonesians find that the coffee beans fermented by the civets' intestines and stomach are very thick and mellow, so they collect civets' feces, sift out the coffee beans and brew them to drink. Because the yield is rare and the fermentation process is unique, the flavor is very different from that of ordinary coffee. Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or sun-treated to remove the peel, pulp and sheep skin, and finally take out the coffee beans. However, Luwak uses natural fermentation in the body to remove the coffee beans, so it has a special flavor. In general, when coffee is boiled to the second bubble, it will not only go bad, but it will also become less fragrant, but Kopi Luwak can be boiled to the third bubble, and the taste of each cup is different. The only thing in common is that it still retains the fragrance of Luwak. " This "cat shit" coffee, which is 10 times more expensive than Blue Mountain coffee, is always full of smelly men, and the price is still high. As a result, it has become a difficult and expensive cup of coffee in the world.

This batch of Kopi Luwak is wild Kopi Luwak, wild civets will find their own food to find the most mature coffee to eat, unlike captive civets, due to the poor environment, but also eat only human-picked coffee fruits can easily cause civets to get sick or even die in the long run. Therefore, captive civets are easy to cause the most important "digestive enzymes" in their bodies to be killed by bad bacteria because the civets themselves are unhealthy. They cannot convert the most important enzymes to coffee, or even produce toxins. So please try not to eat captive Kopi Luwak.
