Kopi Luwak introduction:

Musk cats are omnivores. They are withdrawn by nature and like to walk at night. They live in tropical rain forests, subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, mountain thickets or hills, mountains and grasses below 2000 meters above sea level. Its food includes small beasts, birds, amphibians and reptiles, crustaceans, fruits and seeds of insects and plants. The civet likes to choose the most mature, sweet, juicy coffee fruit in the coffee tree as food, while the coffee fruit passes through its digestive system and is digested only by the pulp on the outside of the fruit. The hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the civets' digestive system. This is the "natural fermentation method" that was once scoffed by Americans. It is said that when Americans heard about this way of making coffee, it was regarded as a fantasy, and it was not until it was reported by National Geographic that they became interested in it.

This digestion process, so that coffee beans have an unparalleled magical change, the flavor tends to be unique, the taste is particularly mellow, rich and round sweet taste is also unmatched by other coffee beans. This is due to the fact that the civets' digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the coffee much less bitter and increasing the round taste of the coffee beans.

Experts say there is a gland near the sexual organs of the Indonesian "civet" that secretes milky oil, which has always been a precious raw material for the perfume industry. Even Shakespeare's play King Lear has this dialogue: "Please give me some civet oil to stimulate my inspiration." Others said, "this coffee is unique and is a specialty of Indonesia." Drink it, it's like finding a diamond in a stone. " Because the wild "civets" are obviously better at selecting good coffee fruits, so that this kind of coffee has outstanding characteristics.

It is said that experts who have tasted this Kopi Luwak have gone to two extremes in their comments on its taste. One describes the coffee as "the best in the world". The taste is so unusual that it is difficult to describe in words and words: "with a bit of dirt, slightly choking and visceral taste. I stayed in the mouth for a long time until the last drop." Another evaluation is quite the opposite: "it's hard to swallow, it's a complete gimmick, and it's not worth paying for stinky coffee."

Coffee experts say that most Luwak coffee comes from low-altitude robusta beans, suggesting that civets prefer robusta beans to Arabica beans at higher altitudes. Indonesian coffee itself has the taste of earth and traditional Chinese medicine, and its consistency is among the highest in all continents, but Luwak coffee has a better taste and consistency, especially with a consistency almost close to syrup, and its flavor is very special (if it can be described by fragrance). So, if you don't like the taste of Indonesian coffee in the first place, then to be sure, you will hate Luwak coffee more; but if otherwise, you like the fishy smell of aged Indonesian beans or Indian-style soiled beans, and you may fall in love with Kopi Luwak with similar flavor.
