What is the special flavor of Kopi Luwak? what is the overall evaluation of the taste of Kopi Luwak?

Kopi Luwak, as the most expensive coffee bean in the world, even if its name does not sound very elegant, has attracted many people to wonder what such an expensive coffee bean tastes like.

Many people ask how to tell the authenticity of Kopi Luwak. In fact, there is no fake Kopi Luwak. In theory, Kopi Luwak can be produced anywhere, but it is hard to say whether it has that special taste.

The following front street briefly introduces what the Kopi Luwak is all about. Common Kopi Luwak has Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and so on. Kopi Luwak is the coffee fruit discharged after eating the coffee fruit by a common local animal, the civet. Because coffee musk cat's stomach can not digest coffee beans, but after a special gastrointestinal system fermentation, the coffee beans have a fragrance. It is rumored that the most top wild Kopi Luwak is very thick, without bitterness, and can taste the aroma of fruit and a hint of peppermint, which is very comfortable.

But not all Kopi Luwak has this flavor. Kopi Luwak is divided into wild and artificial breeding production. Wild Kopi Luwak is through the wild civets living in the forest looking for coffee fruit to eat and then excreted, and then by the local people up the mountain in the early hours of the morning to "pick up shit", back to clean and dry. As the output is extremely scarce, the price is very expensive.

And captive production is through the breeding of civets, through the feeding of coffee fruits to produce Kopi Luwak, due to stable production, the price is much lower than the wild Kopi Luwak.

What's the difference between the two?

Wild Kopi Luwak is considered to be the most authentic Kopi Luwak, because civets are omnivores, and eating coffee fruits is only part of his food, so wild civets have richer gastrointestinal bacteria, and wild civets look for coffee fruits on their own. therefore, they will choose thoroughly ripe fruit to eat, but also create the excellent flavor of wild Kopi Luwak. However, because there is no artificial control over what kind of coffee the civet eats, in a complex coffee breed environment, civets may eat coffee fruits with good flavor or bad flavor, so it is difficult to ensure that every batch of Kopi Luwak tastes the same.

Artificially raised Kopi Luwak can ensure the flavor stability of Kopi Luwak by artificially feeding high-quality coffee fruits, but the food pedigree of artificially raised civets is greatly reduced, and sometimes in order to increase production, producers only feed coffee fruits as food, so the intestines and stomach of captive civets are naturally not as good as those in the wild, and the quality of Kopi Luwak will not be wild Kopi Luwak.

Wild Kopi Luwak flavor description: the entrance is mellow and full-bodied, with high stickiness, low fruit acid, and sweet hazelnut, nutty and vanilla flavors, changing from hot to cold.
