Luwak Civet Coffee Farm

Kopi Luwak is frequently referred to as the best coffee in the world, but it is also among the costliest varieties. Due to its unique production process, which involves using Asian palm civets, little animals that resemble a cross between a cap and a raccoon, to partially digest coffee cherries, the coffee is well known.

Asiatic palm civets are indigenous to Sumantra and are members of the Viverridae family. They are referred to as "luwaks" by locals and reside in the trees. Being omnivores, luwaks consume a wide variety of foods, including fruits like berries, mangoes, and bananas, as well as insects. They prefer sweet flavors and consume coffee cherries and palm flower sap as part of their natural diet.

The Asian palm civet eats the beans, which then go through chemical processes and fermentations. The coffee cherry's pulp and bean are eliminated when a luwak consumes a cherry along with its bean. Only the coffee bean is still whole after passing through the animal's digestive tract and fermenting, giving the bean a distinctive flavor.

Farmers gather the coffee beans from the jungle floor after the animals have let go of them for 24 hours. Afterward, only the best beans are kept after being sorted to remove any damaged or undersized beans. The producers take care to remove the beans' outer coat before washing, drying, and poking them. The process is finished by grinding the beans after they have been expertly roasted at over 200 °C.

Because of this unique collection method, kopi luwak is quite rare. Witnessing this amazing coffee production process is one of the best things to do in Bali.

Note: Kopi Luwak is a process rather than a variety of coffee. Drinkers of Kopi Luwak are encouraged not to add sugar, milk, or cream because these components lessen the flavor of the coffee.
