Qianjie Indonesian musk cat coffee is authentic and fake.

Kopi Luwak is the general name of a class of coffee, but also a specialty of Indonesia. Kopi Luwak is called "Kopi Luwak" in Indonesian. Among them: "Kopi" means coffee; "Luwak" refers to an arboreal wild animal commonly known as "musk cat" in Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi.

This kind of coffee is jokingly called "the most fragrant poop since there is shit". Although the name is not very elegant, it is a fact that it is the raw material, that is, the poop pulled out by "civet". Musk cats like to eat pulpy coffee fruits, but the hard coffee seeds are indigestible and excreted with feces. Indonesians found that coffee beans fermented by civets' intestines and stomach are particularly thick and mellow, so they carefully collect civets' feces, and then go through several processes, such as selection, drying, deodorization, processing and roasting, to produce the rarest and most unique coffee in the world. due to its low production and high price, it is also one of the most expensive coffee in the world.

There are two kinds of animals on the market producing Kopi Luwak-masked palm civet and civet! So are masked palm civet and civet the same animal? In this affirmative answer, the two are not the same animal, although both belong to the cat family, but masked palm civet has only smelly glands, and musk cats have deodorant glands and sachet.

How to tell the real civet coffee?

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.
