Noble boutique coffee beans Indonesian Kopi Luwak civet coffee coconut cat coffee flavor and taste characteristics

The real Indonesian Kopi Luwak is collected from the droppings of a local wild animal called Paradoxurus hermaphroditus. The coconut cat is a timid nocturnal animal that takes advantage of the night to eat ripe coffee fruit during a bumper harvest on the coffee plantation. However, they cannot digest the seeds, that is, coffee beans, which are excreted in their faeces. The coffee beans, which pass through the coconut cat's digestive tract and anal glands (they mark the territory with the smell of the anal glands), are collected by farm workers and washed to form a unique flavor that is widely respected. At that time, because coconut cats were wild, the number was very rare, the feces were difficult to collect, and the quality of coffee beans harvested varied in different periods, so Kopi Luwak was not a commercially viable crop, but an interesting coffee treasure. That's why I bought it, but now, it's hard to see a real Kopi Luwak. Today's Kopi Luwak comes mostly from wild coconut cats in cages, and they are generally kept in harsh conditions. A Japanese scientist recently claimed to have invented a way to tell whether coffee beans come from wild coconut cats or captive coconut cats, especially if he can tell whether coffee beans come from wild coconut cats or captive ones. Many coffee companies around the world are still using the original story about wildlife digestion habits as a stunt to sell Kopi Luwak. Many companies claim that they can only collect 500kg Kopi Luwak a year. And use this scarcity to justify its high price (Kopi Luwak usually sells for $200,400 per kilogram, sometimes more). In fact, although exact figures are not available, I estimate that Kopi Luwak's annual global production is at least 50 tons, much more than that is possible. Now farmers from India, Vietnam, China and the Philippines have joined the production of Kopi Luwak.
