Introduction of Coffee Coffee with a Special Flavor in Coffee Manor

In general, coffee is made by washing or insolating, removing the peel, pulp and sheepskin of coffee, and finally taking out coffee beans. But civet coffee uses the process of natural fermentation in animals to obtain coffee beans. Coupled with the fact that civets only exist in islands such as Indonesian islands, the time and place of infestation is mysterious, and the number is decreasing, which leads to the high price of civet coffee.

There is knowledge in feeding and eating beans

However, the report points out that it is also learned to feed civets to eat coffee beans. Lin Yijun, who has been baking civets' coffee beans in Indonesia for many years, says that when feeding civets, coffee beans should not be fed every day, otherwise civets will have diarrhea. Coffee beans are only part of the civet's main meal. It is also necessary to feed it bananas, pineapples, fruits, chicken and other foods, so that civets' intestinal enzymes are richer.

In fact, gentle civets don't eat all coffee beans, she says. They choose the most ripe, sweet, full and juicy coffee beans as food. "civet cats are better than machines," she said, which is equivalent to helping people choose coffee beans once.

When it comes to tasting musk cat coffee, laymen should not think that "money is an uncle". Lin Yi-Jun says, "people who like to drink coffee with sugar and milk should not drink civet coffee." the essence of civet coffee is "taste sweet". Even if it goes into the throat for a period of time, there will still be the aroma of caramel and chocolate in the mouth, which is very different from coffee with sugar and milk.

She said that some guests drink civet coffee before going to taste the wine, because the mouth is still sweet, the age of the wine seems to have increased from 12 years to 18 years.

The market is too good to cause controversy over animal cruelty.

Although civet coffee makes glutton's lips and teeth fragrant, a recent BBC survey pointed out that some of the civets that appear on the market are advertised as "wild civets," but in fact it is Indonesian operators who keep civets in lattice cages, which is suspected of animal abuse.

Teguh Pribadi, founder of the Indonesian civet coffee association, insists that the mislabelled Indonesian civet coffee from wild civets is not common and may be an isolated case.

Lin Yijun, who once kept civets in captivity, believes that farmers and civets are symbiotic with each other, and civets are their source of income. If they abuse money-making tools and civets have poor health, the quality of coffee beans produced will certainly be poor, and farmers' income will be affected.

She said that captive farming makes it convenient for farmers to harvest coffee beans regularly, and most of the captive grounds are natural spaces where civets can move freely, while coffee beans excreted by wild civets often take time to find, and by the time farmers find them, the coffee beans have been overfermented and of poor quality. after processing and roasting, Kopi Luwak has become a luxury coffee drink and spread to luxury kingdoms around the world. Local coffee farmers, in pursuit of high profits, bring wild civets home to raise them so that they can produce more Kopi Luwak. However, the Kopi Luwak produced by breeding civets will be much worse in color and taste. Even so, the output of this kind of coffee is still very rare, and it is not affordable for all people who like coffee.

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 washed or tanned to remove the peel, pulp and sheep skin, and finally take out the coffee beans. however, Luwak uses the body.

Musk cat

The method of natural fermentation takes out 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, during the coffee ripening season, local farmers spend a lot of time every day in the forest collecting civet poop coffee, produced in Indonesia, one of the world's most expensive coffee. Indonesia grows a lot of coffee crops, including wild animals called civets, omnivores, pointed mouths and dark gray fur. The favorite food is fresh coffee beans, which are fermented and digested in the body and eventually excreted by cats. Feces are grains of coffee beans and become the most expensive feces in the world. Because the quantity is very rare, so the price is very expensive. Civets are distributed in Indo-China, India (northeast), Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and Kashmir, but only Sumatran civets, or Indonesian civets, can produce Kopi Luwak.
