Front Street-Cat shit coffee is expensive

Kopi Luwak, originated in Indonesia, is a coffee kernel produced by natural fermentation of civets 'digestive system after civets eat ripe fresh coffee fruit. It is carefully roasted and has a thick, natural fragrance and long aftertaste.

In the early 18th century, the Dutch established coffee plantations in the Indonesian colonies of Sumatra and Java, and prohibited the locals from picking and eating their own coffee fruits. Indonesian locals accidentally discovered that civet cats love to eat these coffee fruits and will expel the beans intact.

Civets will only pick the most ripe and sweetest coffee beans to eat, which is equivalent to undergoing a screening. Secondly, Indonesians find that coffee fermented by civets 'intestines is particularly thick and fragrant, so they collect civets' excretions, sift out coffee beans, brew and drink. Due to the scarcity of production and the unique fermentation process, the flavor is greatly different from ordinary coffee. It has become a hot commodity in the international market.

Earlier a bag of cat feces coffee beans worth more than 800 yuan, weight is 50 grams, can make 4-5 cups of coffee, according to this calculation, a cup of cat feces coffee price is about 200 yuan. What is the reason for the high price of cat poop coffee? Front Street counts the following points

1. The price is expensive because of high quality and scarce quantity.

Cat poop coffee used to be delicious, but coconut cats were wild back then, and they picked the sweetest, plump, juiciest coffee berries from the coffee tree for food. The beans they discharged were collected and washed by farm workers. The quality of coffee beans produced in this natural situation must be very good. But now? It's hard to see a real cat poop coffee anymore.

2. The quality of cat feces coffee is not necessarily very high nowadays.

Most of the cat poop coffee that can be drunk today is not really original, but produced by coconut cats that people keep in captivity. These captive coconut cats are vulnerable to other health problems due to their abnormal diet of force-fed coffee berries, and they are also under great stress when they are crowded with their peers. They even fight with each other and their feces are bloody. They are very easy to die. In this case, how high is the quality of the cat poop coffee they produce?

3. There is a lot of cat shit coffee production nowadays.

Cat poop coffee was expensive because it was scarce at that time. However, under the pursuit of money, the production of cat feces coffee will certainly not decrease, so it is unreasonable to give cat feces coffee an expensive price with scarce boos.

Knowledge development: poop coffee is a poop coffee bean produced by the indonesian coconut cat (a civet), which is rare and therefore expensive.
