Introduction to the flavor and taste of one of the world's most expensive coffee beans, civet coffee.

The civet likes to choose the most ripe, sweet, juicy coffee fruit in the coffee tree as food. The coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, and only the pulp on the outside of the fruit is digested, and the hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the civet's digestive system.

In this way, in the process of digestion, the coffee beans have an unparalleled magical change, the flavor tends to be unique, the taste is particularly mellow, and the rich, round and sweet taste is also incomparable to other coffee beans. This is due to the fact that the civets' digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the coffee much less bitter and increasing the round taste of the coffee beans.

Because wild civets are obviously better at selecting good coffee fruits, coconut cats have outstanding characteristics. Coconut cats are omnivorous animals. In addition to eating seeds for a living, they also eat insects and snakes, birds, amphibians and reptiles. So the feces emitted by really wild coconut cats will be mixed with all kinds of substances. Local farmers in Indonesia catch coconut cats to raise them and feed coffee beans to make them. But after all, there are some differences between artificial cultivation and natural ones. 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, the pure aftertaste of Kopi Luwak, also known as civet coffee (Kopi Luwak), Kopi (Indonesian, coffee), Luwak is an arboreal wild animal commonly known as "civet" in Indonesia.

In Sumatra, Indonesia, locals call civets Musang rather than the commonly used Luwak,Kopi Musang is civet coffee, commonly known as "Kopi Luwak". -- from "Coffee Fine Science"

Civet coffee is one of the most expensive coffee in the world, with a price of several hundred dollars per pound. It is extracted from the civet's feces and processed. The civet eats the ripe coffee fruit and is excreted through the digestive system. Due to the fermentation of the stomach, the coffee produced has a special taste and has become a hot item in the international market.
