Flavor description characteristics of Indonesian musk cat shit coffee
Do you know where the most expensive coffee in the world comes from? The answer is Indonesia. What is even more peculiar is that the raw material of this kind of coffee comes from cat droppings! At the Indonesian Pavilion at the World Expo, people can taste this strange coffee.
Recently, the Indonesian Pavilion displayed Kopi Luwak, the star of the Indonesian food festival, and a cup of 4 oz coffee can sell for $168 (about 1400 yuan). The rarity of this coffee is that it comes from the droppings of a wild musk cat in Indonesia.
Kopi Luwak is a traditional specialty in some Indonesian islands, such as Java, Sumatra, Bali and Sulawesi. The civet only contains this unique coffee in its feces after eating local coffee cherries.
In fact, the official name of Kopi Luwak is Kopi Luwak. Kopi means "coffee" in Indonesian, while Luwak is a wild civet in Indonesia.
Sheng Zhen, a staff member of the Indonesian Pavilion, said that in order to get precious "cat poop coffee beans," local farmers in Indonesia would put civets into cages to feed themselves, and some coffee merchants simply packed an island to keep these cats. Let them enjoy the natural environment of sunshine and rain.
"the civets eat and pull by themselves, and you can't force them to eat or pull, so the coffee beans in the excrement are very precious!" Sheng Zhen said. It is reported that this rare coffee produces only 500 pounds a year.
Sheng Zhen showed the distillation process of Kopi Luwak on the spot. "12 grams of Kopi Luwak, distilled with 50 to 55 grams of water, so that the final coffee is the mellow." The coffee grounds left by Kopi Luwak are also very unique, smooth and without holes, which can't be done by ordinary coffee.
The raw materials of this kind of coffee are difficult to obtain, and the production process is very complicated, and it must go through strict sanitary procedures, such as drying, roasting, brewing and so on. However, the final coffee will produce a unique flavor, so it is very expensive. In the coffee shop of the Indonesian Pavilion, 20 grams of Kopi Luwak costs 380 yuan, which is much higher than other kinds of coffee.
In October 2003, Oprah Winfrey, the "talk show queen" of the United States, made a live brew of Kopi Luwak on the show, attracting a topic. The characters also mentioned Kopi Luwak in the TVB TV dramas Vanguard of Law and Politics and Harmony. According to the staff of the pavilion, coffee lovers are still flocking to drink a cup of Kopi Luwak in Hong Kong, which costs 220,298 yuan.
