Cat poop coffee is just another name for this coffee, its official name is "Kopi Luwak". Kopi means "coffee" in Indonesian, and Luwak refers to a wild animal called a "civet." The origins of civet coffee can be traced back to colonial Indonesia, when the Dutch government banned locals from eating and roasting coffee in coffee gardens, but accidentally discovered that the coffee beans excreted by wild civet cats after eating in the gardens had a completely different taste.

The most advanced coffee is cat feces coffee, although we always use a teasing attitude, but really cat feces coffee is the most high-end coffee is also the most expensive coffee, even some people take cat feces coffee to compare coffee Lamborghini! However, many people who had drunk cat poop coffee admitted that the taste of cat poop coffee was very unique, but not everyone felt that this taste was very advanced, especially after seeing the production process of cat poop coffee, you would know that the more people praised cat poop coffee, the more cruel it was to cats...

Cat poop coffee is also called muscat coffee, and cat poop coffee really comes from muscat poop.

Civets were a type of coconut cat in Indonesia. They liked to eat all kinds of fruits and plants. Therefore, at first, Indonesian coffee farmers regarded civets as their sworn enemies because civets chose the most mature, plump and sweet coffee beans for food. However, their digestive system was not enough to digest the hard coffee beans. Moreover, they destroyed the protein in the coffee beans and reduced the bitter taste of coffee.

Rumor has it that the first person to eat cat droppings coffee was the farmer who planted the coffee garden. Because they couldn't eat real coffee, they planted it for so long and had a special curiosity about coffee. Therefore, they started eating the excrement of the civet cat who ate coffee. This is also considered as the "first person to eat crabs"!

Who knew that the round beans fermented by the civet digestive system would be even more fragrant and thick. After processing and baking, they would become a high-end luxury drink and spread all over the world!

The civets prefer the sweetest, purest and juiciest fruits of the coffee tree for food, but only the outer pulp of the coffee fruit can be digested by the civets, and the hard coffee beans will be expelled from the body.

After the civet eats coffee beans, the coffee beans will ferment in its stomach, shed their shells, and the hormones secreted by its stomach mucosa decompose proteins, producing amino acids that can reduce the bitter taste of the coffee beans. Because coffee beans are indigestible, they become the most valuable ingredient after washing the civet feces.

The longer the cat poop coffee beans are stored, the stronger the aroma. The coffee brewed from cat feces coffee is also relatively thick, leaving fine residue at the bottom of the cup after drinking.

Although cat feces coffee tastes mellow, but now the civet is bred, the taste of coffee depends on the quality of the coffee fruit itself. Although coffee cherries generally vary in quality, Arabica varieties are better than Robusta varieties.

Indonesian coffee brands

The best growing areas in Indonesia are Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi. These three islands created three major coffee brands, namely Mantenin coffee produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, moderately sour, with a strong aroma; Java coffee produced in Java, Indonesia, belongs to Arabica coffee; Sulawesi coffee, full particles, rich aroma. 90% of the total production is Robusta coffee, the quality is known as the world's first.

Although Indonesia produces so much good coffee, it is puzzling that its residents prefer Turkish coffee to its famed European coffee.
