Kopi Luwak is produced by the feces of Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civet) as raw materials, so it is called "Kopi Luwak". This kind of animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After completing fermentation in the coconut cat's stomach, it destroys protein, produces short peptides and more free amino acids, reduces the bitterness of coffee, and then excretes feces as the main raw material. Because coffee beans cannot be digested, they are excreted and Kopi Luwak is made after washing and baking.

Coffee critic Chris Rubin said, "the aroma of the wine is so rich and strong, and the coffee is incredibly rich, almost like syrup." Its thickness and chocolate taste, and lingering on the tongue for a long time, pure aftertaste. "

Kopi Luwak is one of the most expensive coffees in the world because of its scarcity and scarcity of land, even in Indonesia of origin. Most of the Kopi Luwak sold on the market are kept in captivity, and their flavor is different from that of the most primitive and natural wild Kopi Luwak.

Kopi Luwak-History of Development

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.

Generally speaking, Indonesian coffee has the taste of earth and traditional Chinese medicine, and its consistency is the highest in all continents, but Kopi Luwak has a stronger tussle 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, whether you are willing to spend thousands of yuan to drink a cup of Kopi Luwak is your personal preference.
