Product Description
100% CAGE FREE CIVET The Luwak (Paradoxurushermaphroditus) denizen of the coffee (kopi) plantations of Sumatra, eats only the ripest coffee cherries. Unable to digest the coffee beans, the Luwak graciously deposits them on the jungle floor where they are eagerly collected by the locals. The stomach acids and enzymatic action involved in this unique fermentation process produces the beans for the world's rarest coffee beverage. "The secret of this delicious blend," enthuses the Indonesia Tourism Promotion Board, "lies in the bean selection, which is performed by a luwak, a species of civet cat endemic to Java. The luwak will eat only the choicest, most perfectly matured beans which it then excretes, partially digested, a few hours later. Plantation workers then retrieve the beans from the ground, ready for immediate roasting." Kopi luwak began showing up in North America during the 1990s at the height of the Starbucks-inspired gourmet coffee craze. It has been sold in the U.S. for up to $600 per pound and can fetch as much as $30 for a single brewed cup in some parts of the world. Coffee connoisseurs explain what makes kopi luwak worth the exorbitant price: The aroma is rich and strong, and the coffee is incredibly full bodied, almost syrupy. It's with a hint of chocolate, and lingers on the tongue with a long, clean aftertaste. It's definitely one of the most interesting and unusual cups I've ever had.

The Smoothest Coffee and Incredible TasteBy Divitom
I have purchased this once a year for the last 3 years and have enjoyed every cup. EXPENSIVE but if you're a coffee drinker you won't believe your taste buds. Simply the best coffee.

very disappointedBy mark
I tried this coffee for the first time and it was nothing special. I ordered whole bean and they sent me ground. I'm suspicious that this was even the real thing because it wasn't at all like the description. I'm very disappointed to say the least and would never get this coffee again.

animal kindnessBy animal kindness
Please help Civets who are suffering for coffee.
Animal Poop Coffee Really!!! Can you imagine buying coffee beans that have been eaten and excreted by animals? Most people would never imagine that such a product exists, but it does—and Amazon.com is selling it! To make kopi luwak coffee, Asian palm civets are snatched from their homes in the wild and imprisoned alone in tiny, barren cages. They're deprived of everything that is natural and important to them, including freedom, exercise, space, and even real food!
Please leave comments about this cruelly produced coffee on Amazon.com. Let the world know about these lonely civets, who lose their fur from lack of nutrition and turn in circles as they go insane from being forced to spend years behind bars. :-(
