Introduction of Indonesian Musk Coffee in Qianjie

Kopi Luwak is just another name for this coffee, and its official name is "Kopi Luwak". Kopi means "coffee" in Indonesian, and Luwak refers to a wild animal called "civet". The origin of civet coffee can be traced back to the colonial era in Indonesia, when the Dutch government banned local people from eating and roasting coffee in the coffee garden, but accidentally found that the coffee beans discharged by the wild civets after eating in the garden had a completely different taste.

Muscat Coffee (KopiLuwak), Kopi (Indonesian, coffee), Luwak refers to an arboreal wild animal called "civet" by Indonesians.

Kopi Luwak, produced in Indonesia, is one of the most expensive coffee in the world. Indonesia grows a lot of coffee crops, including wild animals called civets, omnivores, pointed mouths and dark gray fur. The favorite food is fresh coffee beans, which are fermented and digested in the body and eventually excreted by cats. Feces are grains of coffee beans and become the most expensive feces in the world. Because the quantity is very rare, so the price is very expensive. Civets are found in Indo-China, India (northeast), Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and Kashmir, but only Sumatran civets, or Indonesian civets, can produce Kopi Luwak.

The civet likes to choose the most mature, sweet, juicy coffee fruit in the coffee tree as food, but only the pulp of the coffee fruit can be digested by the civet, and the hard coffee beans will be excreted from the body.

After the civet eats coffee beans, the coffee beans will ferment and shed their shells in its stomach. coupled with the breakdown of proteins by hormones secreted by its gastric mucosa, the amino acids produced can reduce the original bitter taste of coffee beans. Also because coffee beans cannot be digested, coffee beans become the most valuable ingredient after washing the faeces discharged by civets.

The longer the cat poop coffee beans are stored, the stronger the flavor will be. The coffee brewed by Kopi Luwak is also thicker, and there will be delicate residue at the bottom of the cup after drinking it.

Although Kopi Luwak tastes mellow, today's civets are farmed, and the taste of coffee depends on the quality of the fed coffee fruit. Although the quality of coffee fruit generally has its own characteristics, the quality of Arabica is better than that of Robusta.
