Introduction of Indonesian Musk Coffee in Qianjie

Poop from an arboreal wild animal called "civet" on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Local farmers usually regard the discovery of "civet" poop as a gift from heaven, because not all "civets" droppings are lucky to be found.

Once several such "coffee beans" are found, the locals will bend over and pick them up, collect them carefully, and then go through several processes such as selection, drying, deodorization, processing and roasting to produce rare, unique and expensive coffee.

Kopi Luwak, it is by the civet to select the mature sweet, juicy coffee fruit from the coffee tree as food, while the coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, what is digested is only the pulp on the outside of the fruit. The hard coffee beans are excreted intact through the digestive system, and the coffee beans in its feces are extracted and processed.

Due to the special production process, many people may not be able to accept Kopi Luwak. In fact, the opposite is true.

It is precisely because the civet eats the ripe coffee fruit and expels the coffee beans out of the body through the digestive system, so that the coffee beans can be fermented through the stomach, and the coffee produced has a special taste.

This digestion process, so that the coffee beans have an unparalleled magical change, the flavor tends to be unique, with medium mellow and acidity, soft aroma, with earthy flavor. The taste is particularly mellow, and the rich, round and sweet taste is incomparable to other coffee beans.

This is due to the fact that the civets' digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the coffee much less bitter and increasing the round taste of the coffee beans.

Kopi Luwak features: the special flavor comes from two: (1) the special body smell of the civet itself, and (2) the digestion process consumes a lot of sugar. Taste that is very special, there is no way, consumption of sugar has any taste effect, less sugar, less bitterness formed by coking in the process of baking and heating. With a special fragrance and no bitterness, many people think it tastes good. If it tastes good and little, it is expensive. This is why many people use masked palm civet instead of civets to make what is known as Kopi Luwak. It's about the same size, so it's easy to muddle through.

Conclusion: the civet uses coffee berries as the staple food for beans in the ripe season. After complete digestion, the sugar is consumed and the beans in the shit lose stickiness. Coffee beans will not stick together, pull out a dry, will soon spread out, sparse pull is a single state.
