CM Kopi Luwak has its own coffee plantation in Sumatra. For the original coffee beans, we only use high-quality coffee beans from Arabica and Robusta from Bukit Barisan, Sumatera. Before roasting, each batch of coffee beans will go through three rounds of hand-picked green coffee beans, get rid of the secondary products, leave the perfect raw beans, and then roast them. Every step is careful to ensure the highest quality of our products and leave the best to our guests. In order to keep Kopi Luwak fresh, we keep our coffee in sealed aluminum foil bags. In TV dramas and movies, when we see the rich, they will taste Kopi Luwak as a pleasure. Then do you know why Kopi Luwak is so unique?

First of all, let's tell you some facts about Kopi Luwak. On the market, we usually buy the so-called Kopi Luwak, a lot of it is mixed coffee, not the authentic Kopi Luwak you want. Most of the counterfeit Kopi Luwak is sold by vendors in the Indonesian island of Guawa selling mixed coffee from the port city of Zambaolong or other cities. Fake Kopi Luwak usually costs less than $10 a pound (about 60 yuan per jin). The real Kopi Luwak has only one place of origin, and that is Sumatra. The cat referred to in Kopi Luwak refers to the native civet in Sumatra, and only this kind of civet can produce Kopi Luwak worthy of the name. It can be seen that the quantity is so small that Java coffee is famous in the early years, which refers to the Arabica coffee that used to be produced in Java. It has a strong aroma, low acidity, taste lubrication, mixed with mocha coffee, the resulting "Java mocha mixed coffee" was once popular and became synonymous with top coffee.

At that time, Java coffee sold to Europe was a very special kind of coffee. At that time, it was shipped to Europe and the United States by sailboat, and the distance was long and the speed was slow, so it took a lot of time to transport. In this case, the coffee seems to have undergone a special fermentation and has a very unique taste.

Later, when the ship replaced the sailboat, due to the shortened delivery time, people drank relatively fresh coffee beans. But people who are used to drinking Chen beans are not used to the fresh taste, so they desperately pursue old Java coffee, so that the Indonesian government and some businessmen deliberately store fresh beans in warehouses for one or two years and then sell them to consumers. In fact, compared with fresh beans, the acidity of aged Java beans is close to zero, but the flavor is more intense. Because of the long storage time, the increase in cost and the limited quantity, Java has always been a hot item in the coffee market. In the 1880s, some profiteers deliberately tampered with some fresh Guatemalan or Venezuelan beans to mimic the high prices of old Java. It is intolerable that profiteers dye coffee beans to make them look more like old Java, but there is no doubt that the dyed chemicals are certainly toxic.

Java produces only a small amount of Arabica beans, most of which were imported from Africa after the rust disaster. This kind of coffee has a strong bitter taste after roasting, but its aroma is extremely light. Although it has low acidity and delicate taste, it is rarely used for direct drinking. It is often used to mix mixed coffee or to make instant coffee.
