LUWAK COFFEE PLANTATION
Have you ever heard about the most expensive coffee in the world ? yes it is the luwak coffee. We can have a look around Munduk Village which is famous of spices agricultural such as; cloves, coffee, cacao and many more. Kopi luwak is brewed from coffee beans that transversed the gastrointestinal tract of an Asian palm civet ( Luwak ), and were thus subjected to a combination of acidic, enzymatic, and fermentation treatment.
During digestion, digestive enzymes and gastric juices permeate through the endocarp of coffee cherries and break down storage proteins, yielding shorter peptides. This alters the composition of amino acids and impacts the aroma of the coffee. In the roasting process, the proteins undergo a non-enzymatic Maillard reaction. The palm civet is thought to select the most ripe and flawless coffee cherries.
This selection influences the flavour of the coffee, as does the digestive process. The beans begin to germinate by malting, which reduces their bitterness. When performed in nature, or in the wild, these two mechanisms achieve the same goal as selective picking and the wet or washed process of coffee milling:
1) harvesting optimally ripe cherries and
2) mechanically and chemically removing the pulp and skin from the cherry, leaving mainly the seed.
Traditionally, excreted coffee beans were collected directly in plantations and forests. In this area there are some local coffee processing that is very welcome to visitors. No admission is required .
