Introduction to the characteristics of Indonesian civet coffee flavor and taste manor area

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!

Drive a bad wind

Kopi Luwak has led to a bad trend, with elephant shit coffee, squirrel shit coffee and bird shit coffee all coming out, with the same cruel means. Tim Carman, a food columnist for the Washington Post, once commented on Kopi Luwak sold in the United States and concluded, "it tastes just 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. The coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, and only the pulp on the outside of the fruit is digested, and the hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the civet's digestive system.

In this way, in the process of digestion, the coffee beans have an unparalleled magical change, the flavor tends to be unique, the taste is particularly mellow, and the rich, round and sweet taste is also incomparable to 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.

Because wild civets are obviously better at selecting good coffee fruits, giving this coffee extraordinary characteristics 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 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.
