Sweet taste Indonesian civet coffee flavor taste manor boutique coffee beans introduction

The cat has a special ability of orientation, which is guided by the incense secreted by the cystic incense glands. When it is active, all the prominent objects along the way, such as tree trunks, stakes and stone edges in its habitat, will often be foamed with the secretions of incense glands, commonly known as "wiping stakes". This kind of scrubbing acts as a marker in the field, but also plays a role of communication with other similar species. When it gets food or encounters an enemy, it can accurately return to the cave as quickly as possible following the route indicated by the mark left behind. The characteristic of this secretion is that the odor is volatile and lasts for a long time, so it is suitable for cats to get information at a certain distance from the cave, or there are plant obstacles in the space, and the information is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions in China. [1] including southern Gansu, Sichuan, Shaanxi Qinling, southern Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and low-altitude areas southeast of Xizang (Chayu, Bomi, Motuo, Linzhi, Milin, Cuona, etc.). [5] the resources of China's great cats were estimated to exceed 200000 in the 1950s in Indonesia, Indo-China Peninsula, India (northeast), Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, Kashmir and other regions. After long-term overhunting, the population declined rapidly year by year. By the early 1980s, the natural population of China was less than 20, 000, and by the early 1990s, the natural population was less than 20, 000. Zhejiang, Jiangxi, southern Anhui, Guizhou and other places are very rare, and the population of civet cats is endangered in China.

Kopi Luwak is produced by the feces of Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civet) 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, the pure aftertaste in the process of digestion, so that the 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.

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.
