Qianjie-introduction to Muscat Coffee

Civet coffee is one of the most expensive coffee in the world. A few years ago, the price per pound was as high as several hundred US dollars. It was extracted from the civet's feces and processed. The civet ate the ripe coffee fruit and excreted it through the digestive system. Due to the fermentation of the stomach, the coffee produced has a special taste and has become a hot item in the international market.

Kopi Luwak is produced by Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civets) who eat coffee and ferment it in the intestines and stomach, then discharge indigestible coffee beans as raw materials, so it is called "Kopi Luwak". This kind of animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After completing fermentation in the coconut cat's stomach, it destroys protein, produces short peptides and more free amino acids, reduces the bitterness of coffee, and then excretes feces as the main raw material. Because coffee beans cannot be digested, they are excreted and Kopi Luwak is made after washing and baking. Coffee critic Chris Rubin said, "the aroma of the wine is so rich and strong, and the coffee is incredibly rich, almost like syrup." Its thickness and chocolate taste, and lingering on the tongue for a long time, pure aftertaste. "

Coconut cats are omnivores, eating not only coffee and cherries, but also insects and snakes, birds, amphibians and reptiles, so the feces emitted by really wild coconut cats will be mixed with all kinds of substances. Local farmers in Indonesia catch coconut cats to raise them and feed coffee beans to make them. But there is a difference between artificial cultivation and natural ones after all.

The civet likes to choose the most ripe, sweet, juicy coffee fruit in the coffee tree as food. The coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, and only the pulp on the outside of the fruit is digested, and the hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the civet's digestive system.

In this way, in the process of digestion, the coffee beans have an unparalleled magical change, the flavor tends to be unique, the taste is particularly mellow, and the rich, round and sweet taste is also incomparable to other coffee beans. This is due to the fact that the civets' digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the coffee much less bitter and increasing the round taste of the coffee beans.

Because wild civets are obviously better at selecting good coffee fruits, this kind of coffee has outstanding characteristics.

Knowledge: coffee beans are the fruits of coffee trees, which belong to perennial evergreen shrubs or small trees of Rubiaceae.
