An introduction to the characteristics of the manor producing area of Indonesian civet coffee with unique flavor and taste of Kopi Luwak

The Republic of Indonesia is divided into the Greater Jakarta Capital Zone, the Yogyakarta Special Zone, the Aceh Special Zone, and 30 provinces, with a total of 33 first-level districts. The second-level administrative region has 396 counties and 93 cities (2014 statistics). Other major economic cities include Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, Sanbaolong and Jugang.

Jakarta

The capital Jakarta, located on the northwest coast of Java, covers an area of 740.28km ²and has a population of 10.187 million. It is the political, economic and cultural center of the country and the hub of land, sea and air transportation, as well as the shipping center between southern Asia and Oceania. Jakarta became a famous seaport for exporting pepper and spices more than 500 years ago, when it was called "Sunda Graba", meaning "coconut". It was renamed Chajakarta in 1527, implying victory and glory. In 1618, the Dutch colonial army occupied it and changed its name to "Batavia". During World War II, Japanese invaders occupied Indonesia until Indonesia became independent in 1945 and was renamed Jakarta and designated as the capital of the Republic.

Surabaya

Surabaya is the capital of East Java Province, with a city area of 326km ²and a population of 3.6 million. It is the second largest city in the country after Jakarta, the main naval base, one of Indonesia's important manufacturing, agricultural products processing, trade centers and the sea and air transportation hub of Java. It is known as the "Hero City" because of its heroic resistance to Britain during the struggle for independence.

Medan

Medan is the capital of North Sumatra province, with an urban area of 342 square meters and a population of about 1.8 million, making it the third largest city in Indonesia. Bordering the Strait of Malacca, it is the west gate of Indonesia's foreign trade and one of the main entry and exit ports for domestic and foreign tourists. The establishment of the economic growth triangle in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand has strengthened its position as the development center of Jiangsu Province and northern Indonesia. it has promoted the rapid development of the city's small industries such as food processing, textile industry, leather goods, chemical industry, building materials, metals and means of transportation. The city has a clean appearance, shady trees and a pleasant climate. The Sultan Palace in the city was built in 1888. 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 coffee Kopi Luwak, which is produced by the droppings of Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civets) 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 the Washington Post's food columnist Tim Carman once commented on Kopi Luwak sold in the United States and concluded that "it tastes like Folger coffee." It's like rotten, lifeless taste. It's like petrified dinosaur shit in bath water. I can't finish it. "

The civet likes to choose the most ripe, sweet, juicy coffee fruit in the coffee tree as food. As the coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, only the outer pulp of the fruit is digested, and the hard raw beans are then excreted out of the body Kopi Luwak intact by the civet's digestive system, produced in Indonesia, one of the most expensive coffee in the world. 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.
