Kopi Luwak, or Civet Coffee
One of the world's most expensive and low-production coffee. It is made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by the Asian Palm Civet and other related civets, passed through its digestive tract. The civet eats the coffee berries for their fleshy pulp. In its stomach, proteolytic enzymes seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids. Passing through a civet's intestines the beans are then defecated, keeping their shape. After gathering, washing, sun drying, light roasting and brewing, these beans yield an aromatic coffee with much less bitterness, widely noted as the most expensive coffee in the world. Kopi luwak is produced mainly on the islands of Sumatra, Java Bali and Sulawesi and the Philippines (called motit coffee). Weasel coffee is the English translation. Vietnam (called ca' phe Chon) produce a chemical made vervsion. 450 grams can cost up to $600.00 and about $100 a cup. The taste of Civet Coffee, having a rich chocolate like flavour with no aftertaste. This is thought to be due to the breakdown of the bean's proteins in the Covets intestine. These proteins are responsible for the bitterness of coffee generally.  |
