For a long time, coffee shoppers in the country, even the coffee capital of Buon Ma Thuot, Dak Lak, when it comes to the name "coffee mink" are simply a legend, no person dared to strong mouth area. Their dad was in town or enjoying caffeine mink stuff.
However, people out there claim that Vietnamese mink coffee is a true legend, and expensive in the uk's first class. Mr. Dang Le Nguyen Vu, Overseer of Trung Nguyen Caffeine System, said Trung Nguyen has produced its own mink coffee brand called Weasel. Each kilogram of Weasel coffee is charged at $ 3, 1000, much higher than Indonesian Kopi Luwak, which is offered under $ six-hundred per

"The reason Vietnamese coffee mink is expensive because the supply process is superior and completely manual, " the representative of Trung Nguyen explained. Unlike Indonesia, weasel makers in Vietnam do not raise mink and force them to eat coffee.
A primary reason weaving mink coffee is really because we often choose fermented fruit delicious, ripe fruits. The bean that is "forced" to eat espresso beans will not produce products like mink in the wild. Teams of weasels and "production" wild animals scattered throughout the Central Highlands such as Buon Me Thuot, Kon Tum, Dac Nong, not much as before due to hunting.
Raw materials are purchased at prices starting from 1 to 15 million VND per kilogram (depending on the quality of the coffee coffee beans, the composition of the feces) from farmers, investors. After that, Trung Nguyen conducted the production with many complex standards including the time from the dig up to the item to the beginning of processing really should not be more than 24 several hours, and then soil (bring to the ground) 343 days and nights. Sewing is important for coffee to decompose the shell naturally, rather than by using a
conventional separator.
Following experiencing the periodic period as above, Weasel espresso costs up to 3, 000 USD per kilogram. The 250g package comes at $ 750.
Yet , even those who have money, it is hard to buy Weasel mink coffee because each season Trung Nguyen produces only 40-50 kg. Therefore, this product is not for export but only in certain quantities as purchased by VIP customers.
Also, Weasel mink coffee is an unique gift idea to the heads of express when they come to Vietnam. Recently, the weasel coffee surprise was handed to US Secretary of Express Hilary Clinton when your woman arrived in Vietnam last month. The President also gave the same gift idea to her husband, original President Bill Clinton when he found its way to Vietnam. During a visit to Spain in December last year, the President offered Weasel mink coffee to the leading minister and the full.
Additionally to Weasel capuccinos made out of wild weasels, many other businesses in Vietnam have also tested mink farming to accumulate caffeine. This model has come about in the Central Highlands provinces such as Buon Me Thuot recently.
Espresso made from the mink is not priced high with wild weasels. Associates of your coffee company said that after buying mink and coffee from maqui berry farmers, they processed and sold for more than dollar 600 per kg. "But only when there are orders for us to produce, " he said.
Although Vietnam produces mink coffee, your best, but so far Indonesia's Kopi Luwak coffee remains to be known as the most expensive in the world and even more well known, representatives of Trung
cafe chon Nguyen share..
In the country, with the price "in the sky", mink coffee is still a concept strange to most people, they may have only chance to taste mink coffee "aromatherapy". One coffee devotee, Trung Hieu (Cau Giay Area, Hanoi), said that this individual had been drinking caffeine on the showboat when he came to the ocean mafia "Caf? mink" or his friend and would not see anything at all special, Your taste is bad. "Many of the pubs called 'mink coffee' in the menu, very high prices are just tens of thousands of a cup therefore i know right is lemons, " this individual said.
Together with the majority of coffee connoisseurs, finding caffeine mink to enjoy in Saigon or Hanoi is impossible. Hung, a personnel at a major coffee shop in Hanoi, said direct away, "There are mink coffee in malls from the South to the North, just marmalades and that's just the name. "
