Is the Vietnamese Kopi Luwak real? what is it made of? Why is the price of cat poop coffee beans so cheap?

As the first of the ten most expensive coffee in the world in the traditional sense, Kopi Luwak tops Southeast Asia with its unique name and price. Kopi Luwak comes from raw coffee beans extracted and processed from the droppings of an animal called civets. After the civet eats the coffee fruit, the flesh is digested when it passes through the digestive tract, while the hard, unable digestive tract coffee beans will be excreted with the feces, and in the process of excretion, the coffee beans pass through their reproductive organs. become stained with musk oil secreted by reproductive organs, so there is a special taste level.

The real civet coffee will exude aromas similar to honey and chocolate in flavor. It is not bitter, sour, astringent in taste, has obvious milk flavor, and has less irritation to the stomach after entering the throat.

Wild Kopi Luwak is extremely precious, in order to meet the market demand, produced an inhumane Kopi Luwak production chain. First ban the cat ring, then force the cat to eat coffee fruit every day, and then encourage the cat to defecate in large quantities to collect coffee beans.

Generally speaking, authentic Kopi Luwak is expensive, while instant coffee powder with cat shit flavor appears on the market, which is very cheap in price, but there is little or no Kopi Luwak in ingredients.

The best Kopi Luwak is made in Indonesia, followed by Malaysia and Vietnam. Therefore, the price of Kopi Luwak made in Vietnam is lower than that of Kopi Luwak in Indonesia. But it still costs 200-300 yuan / 100g, which is very high compared to other coffee beans.
