Introduction of Qianjie Indonesian Coffee Brand-Muscat Coffee

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.

So, how did the popular Kopi Luwak come from?

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.

This kind of coffee is called "the most fragrant poop since there is shit". Although its name is not very elegant, it is true. It is the poop of an arboreal wild animal called "civet" on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Local farmers usually regard the discovery of "civet" feces as a gift from heaven, because not all "civets" feces can be luckily 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 the rarest, most unique and most expensive coffee in the world.

In Indonesian, "Kopi" means coffee, and "Luwak" is the name commonly known by Indonesians as "civet". It is said that the coffee produces no more than 500 pounds a year and retails at 550 euros / $700 per kilogram. It depends on the year because there is not a fixed output every year.
