The company M.P. Mountanos, which first introduced Kopi Luwak coffee to the United States, pointed out that at first, when I heard about this kind of coffee fermented in the body, I thought it was a joke in the industry, but I didn't take it seriously. later, I saw a special report on Kopi Luwak in National Geographic Magazine and became interested in her. it took seven years to find a stable source of supply and began to introduce a small amount to the United States. What's the flavor of this coffee? Generally speaking, Indonesian coffee has the taste of mud and traditional Chinese medicine, and its consistency is the highest in all continents, but Kopi Luwak has a stronger taste and consistency, which is almost close to syrup, and its flavor is very special. If you don't like Indonesian coffee in the first place, you must hate Kopi Luwak even more. If you prefer the fishy smell of aged beans, you may love this alternative coffee. Experts who have tasted Kopi Luwak have put forward a polarized evaluation, and some people compare it to the best coffee in the world. Although it is the best, but whether you are willing to spend thousands of yuan to drink a cup of Kopi Luwak is your personal preference.

Production skill editor

1. After Indonesians remove the silver-gray film on the appearance of coffee beans, wash them with water, dry them in the sun, and then stir-fry them, they become cat shit coffee beans.

2. Only about 150 grams of coffee beans can be extracted from a jin of civets' feces, which will cause 20% loss in the roasting process. Due to the unique raw materials and production process, this kind of coffee can be said to be very rare. No more than 400 kilograms of coffee beans are supplied worldwide every year.

3. Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or sun-treated to remove excess parts and take out coffee beans, but Luwak obtains coffee beans by using its natural fermentation in civets, so it has a unique flavor.

Eva, the owner of Special Cafe, is a coffee enthusiast who travels around the world every year in search of rare goods. She told reporters that the "Kopi Luwak" was once a tribute from Indonesia to the Dutch royal family. At that time, the industry regarded the coffee with the name "cat shit" as a joke, and people didn't get interested in the Kopi Luwak until it was specially reported in National Geographic magazine.

High price

The Kopi Luwak Initiative is the least produced coffee in the world. A bag of 50 grams of coffee beans costs more than 800 yuan, and only 5 cups of coffee can be brewed. In other words, the price of a cup is about 200 yuan. The civet coffee gift box produced by Fireboat Group, Indonesia's largest coffee supplier, sells for 600,50g at Shangpin Cafe with extremely luxurious packaging, while the asking price for 100g is more than 2000 yuan, and the global annual output in the wild does not exceed 400kg. Today, villagers in these areas not only collect wild Rwaka feces, but also begin to raise Rwaka in captivity. Large pots of picked coffee cherries were placed in front of Rwaka, and the hungry Rwaka had no choice but to eat all the coffee cherries. The taste of Rwaka coffee produced in this way is naturally greatly reduced. "scarcity is precious", which has led to the high price of Kopi Luwak, a rare treasure. I'm afraid you'll have to prepare £50 for a cup of coffee, and you may not be able to find it everywhere.
