History of Kopi Luwak Well, where from should I start? It has a close connection with the history of Indonesian coffee production. The Dutch introduced the coffee plantations in their colony some where in the islands of Java and Sumatra. The native farmers and plantation workers were not allowed to pick coffee fruits for their own use. Eventually these local farmers learned that certain species of luwak (a.k.a Asian palm civet) use to have these coffee beans as their foods. Most interesting thing is, these little animals can somehow sense the best and sweetest beans to eat. They seeds remain undigested and left in their poops. The Luwak's dropping coffee seeds were then collected by the farmers. After washing them several times, they roasted and grinded it to make coffee beverage. From then on, the aromatic flavor touched every one's heart.

What is the reason of being "The Most Expensive"? These coffee seeds are fermented naturally, so they are unique in taste. While in the civet cat's intestine, the seeds are mixed with enzymes which make the massive variations from other brands. But this is not the main reason of being so costly. Kopi Luwak has an annual production of 500-1000 pounds every year. Moreover, 20% of the seeds are wasted after washing and sun burning. And only because of the rare production, it has got the throne of "The Most Expensive Coffee" from the old days.

Many have described it as earthy, syrupy, smooth and rich with chocolate undertones. Some said it has orange, floral, and/or butter undertones. But the matter of fact is kopi luwak has its unique taste and flavor. So what are you waiting for? Get a cup of kopi luwak and share you experience.
