Kopi Luwak

Kopi Luwak is made from beans that have been eaten and then excreted by the civet, a small mammal found in Southeast Asia. The beans pass through the civet’s digestive tract, where they are fermented by natural enzymes. This fermentation process breaks down proteins that can make coffee taste bitter, resulting in a smoother, less acidic cup. The beans are then carefully collected from the feces, washed, and roasted. The final product boasts an incredibly rich and complex flavour, with notes of chocolate, caramel, and a soft earthy undertone, offering a luxurious drinking experience that is unlike any other coffee.

The rarity and labor-intensive process of producing Kopi Luwak contribute to its high price. Since it takes a significant amount of time and effort to gather the beans from the wild/free-range civet populations, and the civet itself is selective about the coffee cherries it consumes, the production is limited. Additionally, the practice requires a delicate balance between harvesting the beans and ensuring the civets' well-being, which adds to the cost. The combination of its unique origins, limited supply, and exceptional flavour has cemented Kopi Luwak’s reputation as a luxury item in the coffee world.

We are proud to offer this ultra rare Kopi Luwak coffee under the strict conditions that all parts of the supply chain are 100% free of animal and human exploitation, coercion, and cruelty. The civets are wild/free-range.
