Taste of Bali Coffee Flavor Manor area introduces Bali boutique coffee beans

The coffee comes from the droppings of an animal called a civet (commonly known as a civet in Indonesia). Although it comes from smelly poop, it tastes sweet and has an indescribable sweetness. This wild civet likes to eat fat and thick coffee fruit, but the hard fruit core (green beans) cannot be digested and excreted with feces. After washing, it becomes Kopi Luwak coffee green beans! Many people call it cat shit coffee. Indonesian people found that the coffee beans fermented by the civet stomach were particularly thick and fragrant, so they collected the civet feces, sifted out the coffee beans, and brewed them to drink. Due to the scarcity of production and the unique fermentation process, the flavor was greatly different from ordinary coffee. Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or sun-treated to remove the skin, pulp and sheepskin layer, and finally the coffee beans are extracted. However, Luwak uses natural fermentation in vivo to extract the coffee beans, so it has a special flavor.

It is said that early Indonesian coffee farmers regarded civets, which ate ripe coffee fruits, as mortal enemies, but at some point it began to occur to people to pick coffee beans from civets 'droppings to make coffee with unique flavor. Coffee experts everywhere have tried it and marveled. Since then, local farmers have spent much of each day collecting civet droppings in the forest during coffee ripening season.

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

Only about 150 grams of coffee beans can be extracted from a catty of civet feces, and 20% of the coffee beans will be lost during the roasting process. Due to the unique raw materials and production process, this coffee can be said to be very rare, and the annual supply of coffee beans worldwide will not exceed 400 kilograms at most.

Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or sun-dried to remove excess parts and extract coffee beans, but Luwak obtains coffee beans by using its natural fermentation in the body of the civet, thus having a unique flavor.

Coffee beans generally go through the process of fermentation of the shell. Coffee beans are in the intestinal tract of the civet. Special bacteria provide a unique fermentation environment. The flavor becomes unique and especially thick and mellow. Coffee beans fermented by civet intestines are especially thick and fragrant.

Eva, the owner of Te Cafe, is a coffee enthusiast who travels around the world every year to collect rare products. She told reporters that "cat poop coffee" was once a tribute from Indonesia to the Dutch royal family. The industry treated the coffee as a joke until National Geographic featured it
