Coffee Luwak, Bali

A famous coffee using civet cats to eat (collect) the most ripe coffee fruits, then collect the beans that passed through the digestive system intact.

This little farm is a mix plantation of coffee, cocoa, vanilla, turmeric, cinnamon, ginseng and many other spices and flower plants.

There are a few civet cats that are free to roam in the farm at night, and will come back to the cage (voluntarily with fruits) during the day to rest.

Staff will go round everyday to pick up their droppings, dry in the sun for a couple of days to ferment, then wash, remove skins, roast and pound into coarse Luwak coffee powder, all by hand.

Luwak coffee is less bitter than normal coffee, has a nice sour fruity taste, is pleasant to drink, a good novelty.
