The history of cat excrement coffee

Kopi Luwat (commonly known as cat excrement coffee) is the most expensive coffee in the world, about 50 dollars per cup. I believe it will attract coffee lovers to try it.

Kopi Luwat is made from the excrement of Indonesian wild civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). Civet cats like to eat ripe red coffee fruits from coffee trees, so undigested coffee seeds often remain in their feces. Farm operators pick these seeds out of the feces, remove the silver-gray film, wash them with water, dry them in the sun, and then fry them into cat excrement coffee beans.

Because civets choose ripe coffee fruits to eat, the coffee beans inside are of excellent quality, which are mixed with saliva or gastric juice in civets and have a unique fragrance. Because it is hard to come by, it is said that the annual output is only 800 kilograms, so the price is high.

A pack of 50 grams of Luwak coffee beans costs about 5400 yuan. According to the calculation that a cup of coffee needs 3.5 to 4 grams of coffee beans, the price of a cup of Luwak coffee is about 374 yuan to 4 16 yuan. 12% luwak coffee and arabica coffee beans are mixed to make "luwak -T 10" set meal, and the price is 1250 yuan.

Coffee shops in five-star hotels have also introduced this kind of cat excrement coffee, with a cup of 4 ounces for sale 168 yuan.

Can you take a look at this, because it's not clear what you mean by history.

In addition, food magazines seem to have a more detailed introduction. MS was very popular at the beginning of this year. If you go to Hong Kong, there will be more food websites, because they are more popular there, and fewer people in the Mainland know about them.
