Qianjie-Sumatra Musk Coffee

Although civets are found in Indo-China, India (northeast), Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and Kashmir. But only Sumatran civets can produce Kopi Luwak. And they live in the jungle and are omnivores, so the production of Kopi Luwak is very rare.

Even though it produces only 500 pounds a year and costs hundreds of dollars a cup, people are still flocking to the Kopi Luwak-they always feel they have lost a lot of money when they travel to Bali, don't drink a Kopi Luwak, or buy some as souvenirs. Kopi Luwak is becoming more and more popular not only in Indonesia, but also in China. Kopi Luwak, which has even been turned into a chain brand by smart merchants, can "join" just like the famous "Coffee with you".

Generally speaking, the cat in cat shit is a kind of civet called coconut civet (also known as musk cat). It is so cute that it is closely related to masked palm civet and Kitty, and its face bears a slight resemblance to a raccoon. Coconut civet naturally likes to eat ripe coffee fruit, its gastrointestinal tract will decompose the peel, pulp, and pectin, and these outer structures, which are rich in carbohydrate and protein, will be broken down into low-bitter, low-acid coffee.

More miraculously, the peeled raw coffee beans enter a state of "ready to sprout" in the coconut civet's warm and moist intestines. A raw coffee bean that wants to germinate will consciously carry out a series of metabolic activities, such as converting starch into sugar, resulting in a higher sweetness of the final coffee. However, all this is just speculation.

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.

Kopi Luwak is expensive for one thing because of its unique taste. It has a very special smell. After drinking, there will still be a touch of mint cool feeling in the mouth, which is the "exclusive taste" that ordinary coffee does not have. After drinking a cup, take a deep breath or take a sip of cold water, you can obviously feel cool from mouth to throat, just like eating a mint lotion.

Knowledge gifts: in addition to Kopi Luwak, there are even the so-called coffee like shit, monkey shit coffee and so on. These are made by cruel means, usually forcing animals to eat these coffee cherries, which not only limits their freedom, but also harms their bodies.
