World rarest and unique Coffee brew - Cold Brew Coffee




The notion of cold-brewed coffee sounded to us, frankly, weird, to most people, brewing coffee minus the heat is quite impossible
After all, heat seems intrinsic to the coffee process. Why would you possibly want to leave grounds soaking for half a day in an ugly plastic pitcher, like so much Kool-Aid? There's only one possible reason we were willing to try the Toddy coffee system, one of a handful of cold-brew options available: It works.

In the beginning
The idea of commercializing the method of brewing coffee without the heat or cold brewing came from a chemical engineer, Todd Simpson. It is said that in 1964 he got the idea in a small café in Guatemala. This is when he received a small flask of cool concentrate and some boiling water upon ordering. This makes him wonder whether his mother, who couldn't stomach coffee, might be able to enjoy the cold coffee instead. Eventually his mother could and this leads him to develop the cold brewing device known as the “Toddy system” which is being commercialized now.
Todd Simpson believes that it may be an ancient Peruvian method, and coffee concentrates first showed up in 19th-century America. Another theory traces it back to Java. However, nobody knows for sure where cold coffee brewing method came from.
No heat, no plug
It's not an immediately comfortable transition. The technology is profoundly low-tech: a plastic pitcher with a fabric filter, sitting atop a carafe that catches the finished product. No electricity needed, just gravity, a pound of ground beans and nine cups of cold water. That and 10 to 12 hours steeping time.
It is said that the coffee produced through this method is less acidic, less caffeine and also friendly to sensitive stomach. Toddy claims to brew up two-thirds less caffeine than regular coffee; in a side-by side test using Starbucks' regular blend, the Toddy version had a pH of 6.31 and 40 mg of caffeine per 100 grams of coffee, while Starbucks store-brewed clocked in at a pH of 5.48 and 61 mg of caffeine. (Lower numbers on the pH scale, which is measured logarithmically, denote more acid.)

World rarest and unique coffee drinks - Kopi Luwak





Kopi (or coffee) Luwak from Sumatra, Indonesia is one of the rare type of coffee in the world. The current price of a pound of Kopi Luwak about $ 500 or more, and this is one of the most expensive coffee in the world.

In addition to the excellent taste of coffee, and coffee, is rare, since they are produced.
Coffee cherries are picked, as well as other premium coffee market. In fact, the beans from the feces of pet cats Civets (scientific name: Paradoxurus), the local called "Luwak". It is believed that these mammals in the world's best coffee cherry picker. The Luwak chose coffee, ripe cherry and red and eat them. Eat only the skin, but he swallowed the beans to coffee beans are exposed to the process of fermentation in the digestive system and describe the cat Civets alien tastes. Coffee, beans and get rid of the cats Civets .

The Farmer collect the feces and cleaning the coffee.
Why interest in coffee, which violates cultural taboos, ...because of his travel through the digestive system of animals? "All the calls for education and vocational training is the cat coffee," says Michael Sharp Australian cafe owner, was quoted as saying the Australian Associated Press.

High demand for coffee is folly Pyle got a forest floor, at first glance surprising. However, it is a taste of the coffee and the reasons for people to overcome the challenge of drinking "the cat, coffee, education, vocational training," says Reuters.

Kopi Luwak taste is different from other coffee in many different ways. Kopi Luwak coffee reports less protein, and there is also less other bacteria, possibly digest Civets floor. It has been absorbed by the feces of cats Civets beans are also available as the best and selected beans, because these animals only to get the best cherries of the coffee consumption.

Coffee drinkers, said it was a rich taste with hints of chocolate and candy flavors, it is lighter than other flavors of the coffee blends. Some describe as a simple, practical and musty taste, as the results of the digestion. Even the taste of coffee takes longer in the mouth.

The finished brew reportedly tastes smoother than other coffee blends and has an earthy, exotic flavor.
Actually, similar coffee can be found in Vietnam and it is called “caphe cut chon” by the locals (which literally means fox-dung coffee).

KOPI LUWAK / Luwak Coffee





Kopi Luwak coffee comes from the Indonesian island of Sumatra, an area well-known for its excellent coffee. Also native to the area is a small civit-like animal called a Paradoxurus. That's the scientific name, the locals call them luwaks. These little mammals live in the trees and one of their favorite foods is the red, ripe coffee cherry. They eat the cherries, bean and all. While the bean is in the little guy's stomach, it undergoes chemical treatments and fermentations. The bean finishes its journey through the digestive system, and exits. The still-intact beans are collected from the forest floor, and are cleaned, then roasted and ground just like any other coffee.

The resulting coffee is said to be like no other. It has a rich, heavy flavour with hints of caramel or chocolate. Other terms used to describe it are earthy, musty and exotic. The body is almost syrupy and it's very smooth.

One must wonder about the circumstances that brought about the first cup of Kopi Luwak coffee. Who would think to (or even want to) collect and roast beans out of animal feces? Perhaps a native figured it was easier to collect the beans from the ground this way, rather than having to work harder and pick them from the trees? We'll likely never know. But because of the strange method of collecting, there isn't much Kopi Luwak produced in the world. The average total annual production is only around 500 pounds of beans.

Because of the rarity of this coffee, the price is quite outrageous. If you can find a vendor, the current cost for a pound of Kopi Luwak is around $300 or more. Some more adventurous coffee houses are selling it by the cup, but you won't likely find it at your local coffee shop just yet. The coffee isn't so spectacular that it's truly worth that amount of money. You are paying for the experience of enjoying such an unusual and rare delicacy.

A cup of coffee daily keeps cancer away

A latest finding in US suggests that drinking a cup of coffee daily might reduce the risk of developing skin cancer. This study was started in 1990 and investigated 77,000 white postmenopausal women in the US.

These women provided lot of information about themselves like how much coffee or tea they drink and whether they had ever been diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer.

The study recorded many factors about the investigating women like their age, BMI, smoking habit and whether they live in a sunny area.

The researchers found that a daily cup of caffeinated coffee was connected with a five percent drop in the women's odds of reporting non-melanoma skin cancer, reported the online edition of health magazine WebMD. Women who drank six cups of caffeinated coffee per day were 30 per cent less likely than other women to report non-melanoma skin cancer, the researchers said.
