Kopi Luwak

Our range of Kopi Luwak is derived from the islands of Indonesia particularly in Java, Sulawesi, and Sumatra. The location or the country of origin has nothing to do with the Kopi Luwak price. It is the way they are a processeda that matters most in that account.
Within these islands live strange looking animals. They are small marsupial creatures that usually thrive within the jungles and forests of the Indonesian islands. These animals are called Paradoxurus, a tree-dwelling animal that is part of the sibet family, well known as Civets or Civet cats. These animals love to climb on trees especially the ones that bear pulpy fruits. These fruits are some of the primary foods of these animals.
Kopi Luwak love and select only the highest quality, the redest and ripest coffee berries because of their pulps. Only the pulps are eaten and digested by these animals. The beans are soon excreted from their bodies in the form of fecal matters a clumped coffee beans. These clumped beans are commonly known as civet droppings.

According to experts, the digestive juices and enzymes in the stomach of the civets play an important role in the fermentation process of the beans. It is said that through these digestive juices and enzymes, the bitter taste and the caffeine content of the beans are removed. This process has made Kopi Luwak less bitter and decaffeinated. This makes Kopi Luwak quite distinctive among any other types of coffees around.
