Some people think that the infamous Kopi Luwak coffee is a myth, or perhaps an urban legend. Well, it is the real deal, folks. The Kopi Luwak comes from the Indonesian island of Sumatra, an area well-known for its excellent coffee beans. These coffee beans have been eaten by and then passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet or scientifically known as Paradoxus hermaphrodites.
| While the bean is in the little mammal’s stomach, it undergoes chemical treatments and fermentations; which result in its rich, heavy flavour with hints of caramel or chocolate undertone. Other terms used to describe it are earthy, musty and exotic. The body is almost syrupy and it’s very smooth. The Luwak Coffee is indisputably the world’s rarest and most exclusive coffee, and of course, the price – outrageous. If you are able to find a vendor… the current market price per kilogram is USD 1,000. |  |
