The origin of cat poop coffee and why is it called cat poop coffee

This cat is a musk cat with a cat name but not that kind of pet cat. Two varieties. This is wild in Indonesia, he occasionally eats coffee beans, but it is not digested, how to eat and how to pull out.

Some people found that the beans they pulled out tasted better than the original, and cat poop began to become famous. Because it's pulled out, it's called cat.

Civets like to pick the most ripe, sweet, plump and juicy coffee cherries in the coffee tree for food, but only the flesh of the coffee cherries can be digested by the civet, and the hard raw coffee beans are excreted. After the civet eats coffee beans, the coffee beans will ferment and dehull in its stomach, and the hormones secreted by its gastric mucosa will break down the protein, and the amino acids produced can reduce the original bitterness and astringency of the coffee beans. Because coffee beans cannot be digested, the feces excreted by civets are cleaned, and coffee beans become the most valuable raw material.

The longer the cat poop coffee beans are stored, the stronger the aroma. The coffee brewed from cat poop coffee is also relatively thick, and there will be fine residues left at the bottom of the cup after drinking.

Coffee tree is a perennial evergreen shrub or small tree belonging to the Rubiaceae family, the coffee for daily drinking is made with coffee beans with a variety of different cooking utensils, and coffee beans refer to the kernels in the fruit of the coffee tree, and then roasted with appropriate methods, a standard cup of coffee should not taste bitter, a qualified barista will rigorously carry out each step of the operation when making coffee, and finally the coffee presented to the guests will show different degrees of sweetness, acidity, Aroma or cleanliness.

Cat poop coffee is produced in Indonesia, which is extracted from the feces of civet cats and then processed, so it is also called civet coffee.

Cat poop coffee is produced from the feces of Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civet cat) as raw materials, so it is called "cat poop coffee". This animal mainly feeds on coffee beans, after the fermentation is completed in the stomach of the coconut cat, the protein is destroyed, short peptides and more free amino acids are produced, the bitterness and astringency of the coffee will be reduced, and then the feces excreted are the main raw materials, because the coffee beans can not be digested, they will be excreted, and after cleaning and roasting, it will become cat poop coffee.

Coffee critic Chris Rubin said, "The bouquet is so rich and intense, and the coffee is incredibly strong, almost like syrup." Its thickness and taste of chocolate, and linger on the tongue for a long time, a pure aftertaste. ”

History

Mount Anos, the company that first introduced Kopi Luwak coffee to the United States, pointed out that when he first heard about this kind of internal fermented coffee, he thought it was a joke in the industry, but he didn't take it seriously, and then he saw a special report on Kopi Luwak in National Geographic, and it took seven years to find a stable supply** and began to introduce a small amount to the United States.

What is the flavor of this coffee? Generally speaking, Indonesian coffee has an earthy and traditional Chinese flavor, and the consistency is also the highest in all continents, but kopi luwak has a stronger earthy flavor and consistency, the consistency is almost close to syrup, and the aroma is very special, if you don't like Indonesian coffee in the first place, you must hate kopi luwak even more.

If you prefer the earthy smell of aged beans, you might fall in love with this alternative coffee. Experts who have tasted kopi luwak have put forward polarized evaluations, and some people have likened it to the world's worst shirt and coffee.

This coffee comes from the excrement of an animal called the civet cat (this animal is commonly known as the civet cat in Indonesia), and although it comes from the smelly poop, it is full of sweetness and indescribable sweetness when you drink it. This wild civet likes to eat plump and pulpy coffee fruits, but the hard hard pits cannot be digested, and they are excreted in the feces, and after being cleaned, they become kopi luwak green coffee beans.

For this reason, many people call it "cat poop" coffee. Indonesians found that the coffee beans fermented by the civet stomach are particularly thick and mellow, so they collect the excrement of the civet, sieve and filter out the coffee beans, brew and drink, due to the scarcity of production, and the fermentation process is unique, the flavor is very different from the general coffee.

Traditionally, coffee cherries are washed or sun-dried to remove the skin, pulp and parchment to remove the beans, but luwak uses the natural fermentation method in the body to remove the beans, so they have a special flavor.
