Kopi Luwah, also known as Kopi Luwak, is known as the most expensive coffee in the world, with a price as high as $300 per pound, which is produced in Sumatra.

Why is Kopi Luwak coffee so expensive? It is said to be delicious, but why is civet so delicious?

It is said that earlier in Indonesia, a man managed to get a good can of coffee beans, but the local palm cat stole it. cat

These coffee beans cannot be digested, but they are almost excreted intact. Someone picked it out of cat shit, washed it and cooked it. It is this unsightly and unimaginable process that makes coffee Luwak, the most expensive coffee in the world, unique in taste.

Later, when the coffee berries were ripe, local farmers planted palm trees in coffee plantations. When the cats in palm trees are full, local farmers cover their noses and look around for cat droppings. With luck, they can find a few intact coffee beans that have not been digested by the cat. After the coffee beans are collected, they can serve people after thorough cleaning, deodorization and processing.

Is the delicious Kopi Luwak coffee made by Palm Cat? The answer is yes. Canadian researchers say that the digestive juice of palm cat can break down protein in coffee beans into very small particles, which will enhance the aroma of coffee during grinding. In addition, the intestines of brown cats can filter out some specific protein, thus reducing the bitterness of coffee.
