Call it what you will... and you will, here it is- the famed and extremely rare Kopi Luwak (wet processed) coffee from Sumatera. That's no typo, we're down with the local lingo. Sumatera = Sumatra. Kopi translates as coffee, and Luwak is another name for the palm civet, Paradoxurus Hermaphroditus. We've all met a few even if our friends had to explain it to us later... Kopi Luak, or Luwak, also comes from the Philipines Civet, called Kape Alamid in Philipino. Sometimes called Civet coffee, and sometimes incorrectly called weasel coffee.

What's special about THIS Kopi Luwak?

It's 100% traceable through World Animal Protection as freely living in the highlands of the Gayo Mountains in Northern Sumatra. A few years ago we stopped selling Kopi Luwak due to a rise in caged Luwaks. It is Arabica, not Robusta. THIS Wild Kopi Luwak comes exclusively from selected farmers of a Fairtrade Organic cooperative and is therefore completely traceable to the coffee farmer where no caged animals are kept in or around the farms. There are 50 registered collectors who provide this coffee each of whom forages on their own farm, brings their coffee to a central facility in the village of Berawang Dewal. In this facility collected Wild Kopi Luwak is checked against a quality standard by the Head of Collection. Next, a 300-gram sample of the lot will be delivered to the officers of the Gayo Coffee Protection Society in the city of Takengon. A team of specialists will verify if the coffee beans are genuine foraged and will provide a unique certificate and cupping report per lot.

$35 gets you three ounces (raw) of this unique coffee widely known as the most expensive in the world. Which IS in fact collected from the forest floor just below where palm civets do what they do best; eat insects, snack on lizards, pick the most perfectly ripe coffee cherries, and "process" them. Once roasted, three ounces will produce about 8 cups of brewed coffee, often reported to sell in cafes for over $50 a cup! Do the math on that. You gourmands might be interested to know that these are in fact Arabica beans, not Robusta as some Kopi Luwak may be. Who likes a big steamy Robusta? when you can have a... never mind. The point is, you want Arabica Kopi Luwak, never Robusta.
