I actually received a gift of a sample and frankly it tasted like any other coffee. Kopi luwak or civet coffee is a coffee that is made with partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet. Plantation workers routinely search the grounds for the special beans which are then brewed into coffee in Indonesia's most select hotels, probably with the visitors not being informed about the origins of the great taste. Hopefully the enhanced flavor is due to partial digestion and not to contamination from the anal secretions of the civet cat. When these beans are roasted, the coffee they produce is extremely tasty and full-bodied. ![]() Somehow the contact with the animal's digestive juices changes the chemistry of the beans. ![]() The luak's digestive system, however, cannot handle the coffee beans very well and most of them are secreted a few hours after being eaten in a partially digested form. Two cups of the so-called Black Ivory coffee cost around 50, while a pound of the digested beans total a tidy 500. In a concentrated form it smells terrible but when diluted it has a pleasant musky odor and can be used in perfume manufacture. The platinum bean of the coffee world now comes out of an elephant’s rear end. Like all civet cats it possesseses anal scent glands which secrete a fluid with a characteristic odor. The luak is a species of civet cat found only on the island of Java in Indonesia. This brand also has the license of INRENA – A Gubernamental Organization to protect animals and natural resources.Kopi Luwak, or Civet Coffee is made from coffee beans that have been put through a special machine-a living machine, called the Javan civet cat. The Coati animals are very picky with the fruits they eat, they always choose the best fruit beans – So when they eat the coffee beans they choose the best ones, which are fermented with other fruits inside the little stomach of these animals.ĭon´t worry our Capis Coffee brand is strongly committed with the environment and the good caring of animals, therefore, these animals are like pets in the coffee farmings, they don´t keep them inside cages instead they are trained for where to poop? where to seep? Believe it or not, they have their own toilet, the locals built for them awesome little house-like places made out of wood. The First reason why this coffee is so famous it is because of the flavour. The Dutch people noticed that the locals were drinking better coffee than them so they found out this was “Poop Coffee”, as time went by the Dutch people also started drinking this type of Coffee! Why is this Poop Coffee famous?
