Civet Coffee with Special Flavor

It is considered to be the most expensive coffee in the world. Civet cats are arboreal wild animals. They like to choose the most ripe, sweet, juicy coffee fruits in coffee trees as food. While the coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, what is digested is only the pulp of the fruit appearance, and the hard coffee beans are then excreted out of the body intact. This digestion process makes the coffee beans have an unparalleled magical change, and the coffee brewed with it has an excellent flavor. Because the uncontrollable ingredients in this production process are too high, the annual output of civet coffee is very small and the price is astonishingly high.

How to come

1. When the civet hunts at night, it eats the scarlet berries in the coffee garden.

2. After 72 hours, the pulp of the berry was digested. The cat arranges the indigestible kernels (coffee beans) into the fir cone-shaped cylinder.

3. Coffee workers collect these cylinders and sell them to producers.

4. The manufacturer sells it after selection, drying and deodorization. The price of coffee beans per pound ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the year.

How expensive is it?

Peter Jones Department Store in London launched a charity promotion of civet coffee and Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, when civet coffee sold for 50 pounds a cup. In the West, the retail price is usually close to 600 pounds per kilogram, while Indonesian producers sell unroasted coffee beans for about 100 pounds per kilogram, but that is still several times the price of the best Arabica beans.

How to bubble

The aroma of civet coffee is easier to lose than ordinary coffee. In order to maintain the flavor, coffee beans should be packaged independently and then injected with nitrogen to prevent the oxidation of coffee beans. The production process is complicated and rigorous. If you want to enjoy the true taste of coffee, do not add sugar or milk to the coffee. It is recommended to use an air stopper (Siphon siphon). Add 160,180ml of pure water, pour in 17g coffee powder, and gently press down the bulging coffee powder with flat bamboo slices after the water boils and rises. Remember not to stir, or the coffee will become bitter, sour and astringent. The water temperature is 96 degrees Celsius and the water pressure is 9~10ATM. After boiling for about 1 minute 45 seconds to 2 minutes, quickly remove the fire source and wipe the glass bottle repeatedly with a cold wet cloth to make it rapidly cool. The brewed coffee will quickly fall and show a large number of golden fine foam, so that the ultimate flavor can be achieved.
