Gourmet coffee

KOPI (Indonesian, coffee) LUWAK is produced in Sumatra, Zawa, and Sulvish and is part of the 13677 islands of Indonesia. LUWAK coffee is as expensive as gold and silver is not an infinite scenery on a fake island, but because of how it is produced. The coffee comes from the excrement of an animal called Luwak (commonly known as the civet in Indonesia), which belongs to the genus tree-borne civet. Locals hate these raccoons because they often eat the most ripe and reddest coffee fruits in coffee trees. Although it comes from smelly poop, it is only full of sweetness and a burst of indescribable sweetness. This wild musk cat likes to eat fat, multi-paddled coffee fruits, but the hard hard nuts (raw beans) are indigestible and are excreted with feces. After being cleaned, they become "Kopi Luwak" coffee raw beans! Therefore, many people call it "cat shit" coffee. Indonesians found that the coffee beans fermented by the civets' intestines and stomach are particularly thick and mellow, so they collect civets' feces, sift out the coffee beans and brew them to drink. Because the yield is rare and the fermentation process is unique, the flavor is very different from that of ordinary coffee. Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or tanned to remove the peel, pulp and sheep skin, and finally take out the coffee beans. however, Luwak uses natural fermentation in the body to remove the coffee beans, so it has a special flavor.

The world's most expensive coffee comes from feces. Recently, Goad Sibayan Sibayan went deep into a remote mountain area of the Philippines, which locals call the Cordillera. He crossed a narrow mountain path surrounded by cliffs, which, according to local funeral tradition, were hung with breathtaking coffins. However, Sibayan does not seem to care, because he is here for another purpose, not to hang the coffin.

He stopped in front of a valley where there were many luxuriant coffee trees, and he searched the lower jungle with his eyes, knowing that the animals were picking the most delicious coffee fruits with their claws and eating their delicacies with their teeth. Will rest here. His eyes rested on a shiny brown lump on a rock. He grabbed it in the palm of his right hand, then carefully put it into a small black bag and whispered, "this is gold!"

Although his words are far-fetched, what Mr Sibayan collects is the most precious thing in the world: his feces contain the world's most expensive coffee beans. The coffee beans, which cost hundreds of dollars a pound, come from the droppings of civets, a furry, long-tailed animal that haunts coffee trees in Southeast Asia. I like to choose the most delicious and ripe coffee fruits as their delicacies. The civets eventually excreted the indigestible coffee beans, which were fermented under the action of civets' stomach acid, resulting in coffee beans that experts described as "smooth and tasted like chocolate without any bitter taste."

The market needs to breed new industries

In recent years, as experts in the United States, Europe and Southeast Asia have discovered the uniqueness of this coffee, there is a growing demand for civet coffee in the international market, so that in the Philippines and Indonesia, the two countries with the largest number of civets, set off a gold rush to collect and process civet coffee. In the Philippines, collectors searched the ground of almost every forest, and as more and more people joined in, civet coffee had become a new industry at that time. In Indonesia, since civet coffee has been produced here for a long time, enterprising individuals have turned to catching civets and then raising them in cages in their backyard for home production.

Although the production of civet coffee accounts for a small share of Indonesia's total coffee exports, it is still supported by the Indonesian go-vern-ment and the Indonesian Coffee Manufacturers Association. In 2009, in response to the growing international demand, the Indonesian Musk Coffee producers Association was established. Most civet coffee producers are engaged in small-scale businesses and their products are directly exported abroad.
