Fine Coffee Science interpretation of Coffee Coffee

A cup of civet coffee costs 300 yuan, but there is no guarantee that what you drink is a natural product, because this caffeine is insufficient and begins to be adulterated.

According to foreign media reports a few days ago, civet coffee is derived from the droppings of wild musk cats in Indonesia. As a result of global sales, Indonesia's wild civets are seriously short of coffee beans, so locals began to raise civets in hand, feed them with bananas and coffee, and induce labor and collect feces.

According to foreign media reports, civets are found only in Indonesia, and they only appear in places with coffee trees in Southeast Asia, choosing the most delicious and mature coffee fruits as their delicacies. After that, the indigestible coffee beans are discharged, which is the raw material of civet coffee.

Because this kind of coffee beans are fermented under the action of civets' stomach acid, the resulting coffee beans are smooth in texture and do not have any bitter taste, so they have become a hot item in the international market.

According to the report, this rare coffee produces only 500lb a year. Due to the rare raw materials and complicated procedures such as drying, roasting and brewing, the export price of coffee beans ranges from US $300 to US $800per pound. A 4-ounce can of finished coffee costs 1400 yuan.

The high profits drove the locals to start collecting coffee beans, but due to the insufficient production of wild natural civets, they began to raise civets in hand and feed them with bananas and coffee. As a result, a lot of captive civet coffee has entered the market in Indonesia.

Interpretation of Coffee Coffee

People who have drunk civet coffee say that the taste of coffee moves behind the ear to the back of the neck, and the whole mouth is filled with the sweetness and strong smell of coffee.

According to food experts, the main reason why Kopi Luwak is not bitter is that the civet's stomach acid breaks down the protein of the coffee, making the bitterness disappear, changes in coffee beans as they are fermented in the intestines, and the civet's own unique smell, thus forming a special coffee taste.

The value difference between the two types of products is twice as high.

The head of the Malaysian restaurant in Beijing, Hong Kong, which is a distributor of domestic civet coffee, said that domestic imported civet coffee is wild, so the price is too high.

This morning, Rick, head of Indonesia's indo Muscat Coffee Company, told this newspaper that the value of civet coffee lies in its "rarity", but the number of civets is becoming increasingly rare, and only experienced villagers can find them and collect feces.

Rick said that there is a big difference in the taste between captive civet coffee beans and wild coffee beans, and natural coffee beans taste more mellow. But from the appearance, it is generally difficult to tell.

"the civets eat and pull by themselves. You can't force them to eat and pull. Only in this way can the coffee beans in the final excrement be precious!" He believes that based on taste and rarity, the price of natural coffee beans should be more than twice as much as that of captive breeding.

Rick said that at present, North America and Europe are their company's largest export markets, but he believes that the Chinese market has great consumption potential and is looking for dealers to open up the Chinese market.
