Truth About The Aromatic Kopi Luwak Coffee

By Johnathon Wart


Not many people know the truth about Kopi Luwak coffee despite its growing popularity among coffee lovers. It is know as the most expensive coffee in the world. This is due to the natural methods used in its production and the amounts produced are quite minimal to satisfy the existing consumer demand. During production, the coffee beans pass through the digestive system of the animal mongoose or civet hence the name civet coffee.

The mongoose or civets are known eat the coffee berries and since their digestive systems are not well developed; the berries are passed through to the stool more mature. These berries are collected and separated from the animal waste and prepared for processing and packaging in to the favorite civet coffee that you drink.

Just like in other forms of production, the mongoose or civet digestive systems acts like the raw material processor for this premium civet coffee. Since the barriers are already matured, the coffee quality is enhanced. These animals do not produce a lot of waste containing the matured berries and this explains why the quantities of this particular coffee are limited in the market.

A singe civet or mongoose stool yields several grams and the quantities produced keep the coffee price very high. It is during the digestion process that the beans are fermented and there is no need to add any chemicals or food preservatives. The only natural additive that comes with the civet coffee is the proteolytic enzyme which seeps in to the berries as a value addition thus making it the most expensive coffee.

One of the qualities of civet coffee is derived from the fact that the process of production is natural and there are no artificial additives needed. This process and the quantities produced affect the price of the final Kopi Luwak coffee. Civet coffee is predominantly produced in Java, Bali Sumatra and Sulawesi in Indonesia and some parts of Philippines.

Kopi Luwak coffee comes with a distinctive aroma and taste which is quite different from the coffee you buy from the local departmental store. Some critics argue that they cannot take the coffee because of the way it is produced. On the other hand, the process reduces the bacteria found in other coffee types making civet coffee more superior.

Despite the fact that people are not keen on taking civet coffee because of the production method, the demand keeps growing because people are after the taste and aroma. The demand keeps increasing because of its uniqueness in taste and aroma. This most sought after beverages' production process and quantities available in the market keeps increasing and more coffee lovers are appreciating its uniqueness.

More and more people are turning to civet and mongoose keeping thus boosting civet coffee production. Most of the importers of Kopi Luwak coffee are the Koreas, United States of America and Japan. Currently half a kilogram of civett coffee goes for $227 depending on availability.
