An introduction to the flavor and taste of civet coffee in the manor area

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 transparent.

After washing or sun treatment, the peel, pulp and sheep skin are removed, and finally the coffee beans are removed. However, Luwak uses the method of 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 every day collecting civet droppings in the forest during the coffee ripening season. Muscat Coffee (Kopi Luwak) is produced in Indonesia. It is one of the most expensive coffee in the world, with a price of several hundred US dollars per pound. It is extracted from the feces of the civet and processed. The civet eats the ripe coffee fruit and is excreted through the digestive system. After it is fermented through the stomach, the coffee produced has a special taste and has become a hot item in the international market.

Kopi Luwak is made in Indonesia. In the early 18th century, the Dutch established coffee plantations in the Indonesian colonies of Sumatra and Java, and banned locals from picking and eating their own coffee fruits. Indonesian locals inadvertently found that civets love to eat these coffee fruits and will drain the beans intact when they poop.

Musk cats only choose the most ripe and sweetest coffee beans, which in itself is a natural screening. Second, locals find that these beans are fermented by the cat's stomach to produce coffee that tastes better than ordinary ones. Mellow and delicious Kopi Luwak has gradually become famous and become a hot product in the international market.
