The most expensive coffee in shit, Kopi Luwak, so why is Kopi Luwak so expensive?
If anyone asks what is the most expensive coffee in the world, and you still answer Blue Mountain Coffee, you are out of date. This year's land price of US $120 per kilogram of Blue Mountain 1 obviously cannot compare with Kopi Luwak (Kopi Luwak) of nearly US $1000 a kilogram. Kopi Luwak is Indonesian, kopi means coffee, and Luwak is a local weasel name, so Kopi Luwak locals are used to translating it into weasel coffee. In China, due to the need for text beautification, it has become a civet coffee. The popular one is called Kopi Luwak directly, but it is also appropriate, because Kopi Luwak is Luwak after swallowing the coffee berry. Because I couldn't digest the coffee beans, I pulled out the whole coffee beans. The Kopi Luwak of the Indonesian Pavilion at the 2010 World Expo is as high as 380 yuan for 20 grams. This year, it is said that the purchase price of the Indonesian pavilion is about 1000 US dollars per kilogram, or 6.8 yuan per gram, plus the 20% weightlessness of raw beans processed into ripe beans, plus customs duties, freight, rent and labor, the price of the Indonesian pavilion is very reasonable.
So why is Kopi Luwak so expensive? There are four reasons:
1. Excellent and stable quality. Since Luwak only eats coffee beans with just the right maturity, it is tantamount to picking out the best quality coffee beans of the year. 2. Special fermentation technology creates special taste. 3. Luwak is not a good house cat and will poop in cat litter, so local coffee farmers need to search everywhere for these expensive poop. The output is limited, and the wild Kopi Luwak produces only about 500lbs (about 240kg) a year. Things are rare, and the value of Kopi Luwak is mainly reflected in its rarity.
