Boutique coffee Indonesia Kopi Luwak introduction to Indonesian civet coffee bean producing area manor

Civet is a nocturnal animal that lives in the jungle and eats very little. Coffee beans produced by wild civets are very rare. Only in captivity can more Kopi Luwak be obtained. Some unscrupulous traders keep the animals in small, dirty cages, forcing them to keep eating. They are on the verge of collapse, biting each other's companions, biting their legs, pulling blood, and dying one after another.

There are too many fakes

Eighty-five percent of Kopi Luwak on the market is fake, and many coffee companies label regular coffee as "cat shit" to bid up prices. Even if it comes from real cat shit, it is basically the product of industrial production, and the original ecology is almost impossible.

Quality

Coffee beans that artificially feed civets have not been screened and are not beans of high quality!

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, pure aftertaste. "

Coconut cats are omnivores. In addition to eating seeds, they also eat insects, snakes, birds, amphibians and reptiles, so the feces discharged 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.

In the coffee industry, Kopi Luwak is widely regarded as a product with novelty as the selling point. "the consensus in the industry is that it tastes bad," said the American Special Coffee Association (Specialty Coffee Association of America,SCAA). SCAA quoted a coffee expert as saying: "obviously, the selling point of Kopi Luwak is its story, not its quality." Using the SCAA standard, Kopi Luwak scored two points lower than the lowest score for the other three types of coffee. It can be speculated that the processing of Kopi Luwak diluted the high-quality acidity and taste and made the taste more insipid. Of course, many people also seem to regard this insipid taste as the advantage of this kind of coffee.
