Kopi Luwak
Description
Indonesia – Sumatra – Kopi Luwak – Grade 1 – Specialty Arabica
Kopi Luwak is renowned worldwide as one of the most exclusive and rare coffees. This Grade 1 specialty Arabica comes from the lush highlands of Sumatra, Indonesia, where coffee cherries are naturally selected and fermented by the luwak (civet cat).
In this small-scale production, only ethically collected beans are used, sourced from free-living civets that choose the ripest, sweetest cherries themselves. The unique fermentation in the animal’s digestive tract triggers a distinctive chemical transformation, yielding coffee with its signature mild acidity, low bitterness, and velvety body.
After collection, the coffee undergoes a meticulous post-harvest workflow, including washed processing and careful hand-sorting, where only Grade 1 beans — the highest quality category — are selected.
