Flavor Profile, Characteristics, and the Fascinating Story Behind Premium Indonesian Civet Coffee Beans
Most people have heard of Kopi Luwak! Kopi Luwak has an extremely limited production, and due to its rarity, its price is very high. Do you know where its origin is? Why is it called Kopi Luwak? With these questions in mind, let's take a look at this Kopi Luwak from FrontStreet Coffee!
The origin of Kopi Luwak is closely related to the coffee production history of Indonesia. Dutch colonists established coffee plantations in Indonesia and imported coffee beans from Yemen. In the 19th century, farmers in central Java began to brew and drink coffee using excreted beans collected from the plantations. Kopi Luwak is one of the most expensive coffees in the world, with prices ranging from $220 to $1,100 per kilogram ($100 to $500 per pound) in 2010. The price paid to Filipino collectors was close to $20 per kilogram. The specialty Vietnamese weasel coffee, made from coffee beans eaten by wild civets, sells for $500 per kilogram. Most customers are Asian, especially from Japan, China, and South Korea. Global annual production sources vary greatly. The price of farmed Kopi Luwak is considered low-grade by connoisseurs; in large Indonesian supermarkets, it sells for about $100 per kilogram, five times the price of local high-quality Arabica coffee.
