Kopi Luwak has always given people a very precious feeling, its unique aroma and flavor make people enjoy it, and its rarity also makes the price quite high, Qianjie Coffee will introduce Kopi Luwak.

The Origin of Kopi Luwak

Kopi Luwak is made in Indonesia. In the early 18th century, the Dutch established coffee plantations in the Indonesian colonies of Sumatra and Java. In order to develop commercial trade, they did not allow locals to pick and eat coffee fruits. But people in Indonesia work hard to help the Dutch grow coffee, and they also want to taste it. Since they can't pick it privately, they have to think of other ways.

After a while, coffee growers found that the coffee fruit they planted was often eaten by civets, but the seeds (that is, coffee beans) in the coffee fruit could not be digested by civets. So after the civets eat the coffee fruit, the coffee beans will be completely excreted by them. People wash and bake the beans from the civets, and then try the fruits of their own labor.

Variety and in vivo fermentation

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. The varieties of these coffee beans are generally Robusta, because the civet activities are in the middle and low elevations, so most of the coffee varieties are Robusta. Kopi Luwak production is rare in Arabica at high altitudes.

The low-altitude Robusta coffee in Indonesia originally has the taste of soil and traditional Chinese medicine, and its consistency is also high, so this civet coffee has the fishy flavor of aged beans almost close to that of syrup, and its flavor is very special. if you prefer the fishy smell of Indonesian aged beans or Indian-style soiled beans, you may fall in love with the flavor of civet coffee.

Take Qianjie Coffee Kopi Luwak as an example.

Producing area: Sumatra, Indonesia

Variety: Arabica

Treatment: in vivo fermentation

[Qianjie cooking suggestion]

Filter cup: KONO

Powder weight: 15g

Powder / water ratio: 1:15

Water temperature: 87 ℃

Degree of grinding: BG#6W

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.

KONO filter cup, because it can bring out a more round and mellow taste will be more direct. However, the exhaust effect of the KONO filter cup is relatively poor, because his ribs are straight and the depth is only 1/4 of the depth of the filter cup, except for the position of more than 1/4 to form an airtight state close to the cup wall. Will choose KONO filter cup, because the only exhaust part of this filter cup is in the 1/4 ribs, when the water level moves over the ribs, the amount of water in the filter cup continues to rise, increasing pressure through the weight of water, because the outlet is relatively small, it can extend the contact time between coffee particles and water for a longer time, as the current drives it to bring out soluble matter more effectively, which can generally achieve the thickness effect of high alcohol expected by guests.

Qianjie flushing and cooking technique

Segmented extraction

Steam with 30 grams of water for 30 seconds, small flow circle injection to 125 grams, continue to inject water to 225 grams when the water level is about to be exposed, remove the filter cup when the water level is about to expose the powder bed, (time of steaming starts) extraction time is 2 minutes 39 percent 00 "
