Qianjie Indonesian musk cat coffee hand rushed to share

Civet Coffee (Kopi Luwak), also known as Kopi Luwak, is made by the civet who eats the coffee fruit and discharges the beans intact. People extract the beans from its feces and process them.

Produced in Indonesia, the coffee is currently one of the most expensive in the world, costing as much as a few hundred dollars per pound. It has become a hot item in the international market.

The civet is a small wild animal that moves at night. It climbs to the coffee tree to look for ripe cherry coffee fruit for food. After fermentation in the cat's stomach, it destroys protein and produces short peptides and more free amino acids. Coffee beans cannot be digested and excreted. After washing and roasting, it becomes Kopi Luwak, which is sold all over the world as a rare coffee.

? Musk cats are small and don't eat much. Wild civets produce even less Kopi Luwak, making it almost impossible to operate commercially on a large scale. As a result, in Indonesia and the Philippines, the two largest countries of origin of civet coffee in the world, huge profits have long been swallowed up by intermediate dealers, and no matter what price Kopi Luwak can buy, the people on the plantation are still poor. this aggravates the civet's tragic fate.

The locals captured the civets and imprisoned them in small cages, artificially forcing them to eat too much coffee fruit, and feeding large amounts of fruit pulp in order to speed up excretion.

Many civets are imprisoned in dirty cages with digestive disorders and bloody stools. At the same time, it is accompanied by neurotic symptoms, including constantly pacing back and forth, spinning madly in circles, shaking your head, biting your partner, and even biting your own body.

A civet can normally produce Kopi Luwak for three years, but three years later, the cat's tortured digestive system is disordered, nervous and dying, making it difficult for the cat to return to the wild.

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.
