The annual output in the world is also very small, and things are scarce, which makes Kopi Luwak expensive. This article will introduce the origin and related knowledge of Kopi Luwak in detail.

The historical origin of coffee

At first, coffee was expensive in Europe. Only aristocrats could drink coffee, and coffee was even called "black gold". Until 1690, a Dutch captain sailed to Yemen and got some coffee seedlings, which were successfully planted in Indonesia. In 1727, the wife of a diplomat in Dutch Guiana gave some coffee seeds to a Spaniard in Brazil, where he planted them with good results. The climate in Brazil is very suitable for coffee growth, and coffee has spread rapidly in South America since then. Coffee, which has fallen in price due to mass production, began to become an important drink for Europeans.

Coffee trees are native to the highlands of southwestern Ethiopia in Africa. It is said that more than a thousand years ago, a shepherd found that the sheep had eaten a kind of plant, became very excited and lively, and then discovered coffee. It is also said that a coffee forest was accidentally destroyed by a wildfire, and the smell of barbecue coffee attracted the attention of surrounding residents. The cultivation and production of coffee in the 17th century has always been monopolized by Arabs. At that time, it was mainly used in medicine and religion, and doctors and monks admitted that coffee had the effects of refreshing, awakening, strengthening the stomach, strengthening the body and stopping bleeding. The use of coffee was documented at the beginning of the 15th century and was integrated into religious ceremonies during this period. At the same time, it also appeared in the folk as a daily drink. Because drinking was strictly forbidden in Islam, coffee became a very important social drink at that time. The Origin of civet Coffee (Kopi Luwak)

In fact, the origin of this kind of coffee is the same as his name, that is, a kind of stool called civet, and it is precisely because of this name that many people reject this kind of coffee. Indonesian locals inadvertently found that civets love to eat these coffee fruits and will drain the beans intact when defecating. Civet is a nocturnal animal that lives in the jungle and eats very little. Coffee beans produced by wild civets are very rare. Only in captivity can more Kopi Luwak be obtained. Some unscrupulous traders keep the animals in small, dirty cages, forcing them to keep eating. They are on the verge of collapse, biting each other's companions, biting their legs, pulling blood, and dying one after another.
