When it comes to which coffee is the most expensive in the world, Blue Mountain and Rose Summer have their own trees, and there is also a household name for coffee-Kopi Luwak. Because the coffee beans are fermented in the body, the flavor of Kopi Luwak has a special herbal flavor and is excellent in thickness, so Kopi Luwak has become the darling of the rich, and because of its low yield, it is also expensive.

Kopi Luwak

Kopi Luwak, also known as civet coffee Kopi Luwak, this does not refer to a coffee variety, but refers to a way of handling. Originally wild musk cats in Indonesia eat coffee fruit, because their stomach can not fully digest coffee beans, and the excretion of "feces", Kopi Luwak is also the name from this.

The coffee fruit is in the civet's digestive system and undergoes a combination of acid, enzymatic and fermentation treatment. During digestion, digestive enzymes and gastric juice permeate through the pericarp of coffee cherries and decompose storage proteins, resulting in shorter peptides. This changes the composition of amino acids and affects the aroma of coffee. Civets are thought to choose the most mature, flawless coffee fruits to eat. It's like ensuring the quality of coffee beans.

Musk cats mainly inhabit tropical rain forests in hills and mountains below 2100 meters above sea level, shrubs and grasses on the edge of subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, and choose caves, soil caves or tree caves as habitat sites.

Civets are omnivores. Animal foods include small beasts, birds, amphibians and reptiles, crustaceans and insects, such as rodents, birds, snakes, frogs, fish, crabs, bird eggs, insects, earthworms and wild birds. Plant foods include the stems and leaves of Solanaceae, seeds of a variety of figs and cloth dregs, sour berries, etc., but civets have poor digestibility of plants, so eating berries is equivalent to their dessert, and their staple food is meat.

In the early days, local people picked up the droppings of wild civets in the forest, extracted undigested coffee seeds and processed them into raw beans. Due to its low yield, it has a unique way of fermentation in vivo. Later, many businessmen aimed at business opportunities and began to catch civets in captivity. Civets who were supposed to eat meat could only eat coffee berries. The nutrients in coffee berries do not keep civets healthy.

They believe that although coffee beans are not digested in the civet's digestive tract, strong corrosive digestive juices have corroded its surface, and there is a special protease in these digestive juices that breaks down the original protein chain of coffee beans. break down long-chain proteins into small particles to form short-chain peptides and amino acids.

But in fact, because they only eat coffee berries for a long time, civets may expel the coffee beans for an hour or two after they eat them, and the coffee beans are in the civets' stomach for an hour or two, which is not enough to produce a series of changes mentioned above. the bean is still the bean when it is eaten, and the flavor changes, if any, a little bit.

Suggestion on brewing coffee in Qianjie

In order to better show the herbal flavor and mellow taste of Kopi Luwak, Qianjie coffee roasted cat poop coffee beans are roasted at medium depth. The dewatering rate of medium and deep baked beans is generally higher, so the weight is relatively light, and the powder does not sink completely at the bottom when cooking, and the injected water will be absorbed immediately at the beginning, because the exhaust powder is surrounded by bubbles, and the more fresh the beans in these channels, the longer the maintenance time, so that the water level drops rapidly. I usually use thick water to circle slowly.

The KONO filter cup will be selected for brewing Kopi Luwak in front of the street, because the only exhaust part of this filter cup is the 1/4 ribs. When the water level passes over the ribs, the amount of water in the filter cup continues to rise and the pressure increases through the weight of the water. Because the outlet is relatively small, it can extend the contact time between coffee particles and water for a longer time, as the water flow drives it to bring out the soluble matter more effectively. It can generally achieve the effect of high alcohol thickness expected by guests.
