Da Lat still has more to offer!

in #esteem5 years ago

After visiting the night market the previous evening I had a good nights rest. This was important because the next day I had arranged a tour. Performed by the owner of the hotel which I was staying in, we were going to visit several stops in the vicinity of Da Lat. Many of these could also be visited by motorbike. It had occurred to me that this area had quite a busy traffic situation. So I decided to take the safe option and take a trip by car.

Onward to my first stop. Situated on the outskirts of town are the local coffee plantations. These are huge and cover several nearby valleys. Vietnam is a country where a lot of coffee is consumed, so that makes sense. There is even a special local variant which consists of coffee combined with raw egg. Which really tastes quite well I must add

Here they are, the beans on which most of us rely to get through a day. Ripening in the scorching Vietnamese sun they slowly turn red, like a berry. Once completely ripe they are picked up to be roasted later on. In this specific plantation there was also something else going on though;

Looks like the type of cage one would keep a dog in, right? Wrong, they are used here to keep weasels. On this specific coffee plantation they are used to eat coffee beans. The special proces ferments the beans in such a way that the flavor is altered permanently. This proces is made to mirror that of the most famous coffee in the world, Kopi Luwak from Indonesia.

Wow it's amazing that civet coffee is very famous because of its taste and the manufacturing process is different from coffee in general.
