That name is not entirely accurate since civets, Asia Palm Civets to be precise, are not really cats. Hence, Kopi Luwak is often called cat poop coffee, the name many people are familiar with. Kopi is the Indonesian word for coffee, and Luwak is the Indonesian word for a small ferret-like animal that has a resemblance to a cat.
DIGESTED COFFEE BEANS FREE
At Kaya Kopi, all of our civets live a 100% cage free and healthy life. If the diet is defficient, this enzyamtic process won't be efficient. Part of the magic of Kopi Luwak comes from the healthy enzymes from the luwak. On top of being inhumane, this results in inferior coffee because the civets digestive system is wrecked from an unbalanced diet. Please note: Due to the wild popularity of Kopi Luwak, several plantations farm raise palm civets, sometimes in deplorable conditions, to produce Kopi Luwak. It has a complex flavor profile that is smooth, earthy and sweet with a hint of chocolate. What does Kaya Kopi Luwak taste like? It is noticeably not bitter and is intensely aromatic. Our beans are medium roasted because we feel that it gives them the best flavor. Our beans are from the Pangalengan Highlands of West Java, Indonesia, the original and best location for Kopi Luwak production. Therefore, the taste may vary significantly depending on the source of the beans and the roasting process. Yes, it sounds kind of gross, but not to worry! The outer layer of the coffee bean is removed during processing and the remaining beans are completely cleaned before being roasted and sent to you.ĭespite some misunderstanding, Kopi Luwak is not actually a type of coffee, but rather a method of production. It is produced from coffee beans which have been partially digested by the Indonesian palm civet and then excreted.

The main factor of its high price is the uncommon method of production.
