Introduction to the Fine Coffee Bean Flavor Manor in Bali, Indonesia

The coffee comes from the excrement of an animal called the civet (commonly known as the civet in Indonesia). Although it comes from smelly poop, it is full of sweetness and a burst of indescribable sweetness. This wild musk cat likes to eat fat and pulpy coffee fruits, but the hard hard nuts (raw beans) are indigestible and are excreted with feces. After being cleaned, they become Kopi Luwak coffee raw beans! So many people call it "cat shit" coffee. The Indonesians found that the coffee beans fermented by the civets' intestines and stomach are particularly thick and mellow, so they collect the civets' feces, sift out the coffee beans and brew them to drink. Because the yield is rare and the fermentation process is unique, the flavor is very different from that of ordinary coffee. Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or sun-treated to remove the peel, pulp and sheep skin, and finally take out the coffee beans. However, Luwak uses natural fermentation in the body to remove the coffee beans, so it has a special flavor.

It is said that coffee farmers in early Indonesia regarded civet cats that ate ripe coffee fruits as mortal enemies, but at some point someone began to think of picking coffee beans from the civet droppings to make coffee with unique flavor. Coffee experts everywhere have tried and were amazed. Since then, local farmers spend a lot of time collecting civet droppings in the forest every day during the coffee ripening season.

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

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

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.

Coffee beans generally go through the process of shell fermentation, coffee beans in the civets' intestines, special bacteria provide a unique fermentation environment, the flavor becomes unique, particularly thick and mellow. The coffee beans fermented by civets' intestines and stomach are very thick and mellow.

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 of "cat shit" as a joke, and it was not until it was specially reported by National Geographic that people became interested in the Kopi Luwak.
