(Kopi Luwak) refers to coffee made from coffee beans excreted by civets. Kopi Luwak is a kind of coffee, not a brand. There are many different brands, quality and prices of Kopi Luwak, how to choose?

Different varieties of coffee trees produce coffee with different flavors and grades. Coffee farmers' handling, origin, soil and climate all affect the taste of coffee. Different producing areas and varieties of coffee have their own strong personalities. Therefore, even if we find the same kind of civets to "brew", the taste of the coffee will be different.

Among the many Kopi Luwak, the most expensive is wild raw beans in Indonesia, followed by the Philippines, and cheaper in Vietnam. There are also so-called "A" cat droppings. Coffee beans are excreted by hand-fed civets and may even be excreted by other animals. Wild musk cats live in nature and are free to choose beans. Because the cat has a sharp mouth, does not eat beautiful beans, and only chooses freshly ripe fruits rather than old ones, the coffee beans selected must be of the best quality and have no defects, and there is no such guarantee for feeding. The quality of the discharged beans varies. Coffee beans are reviewed by experts and international buyers for aroma and concentration. It is difficult for ordinary consumers to tell the true quality of coffee from the appearance of the packaging.

Indonesia, which is also the producer of the world's most expensive coffee, Kopi Luwak! Authentic Kopi Luwak is not really excreted from cats, but collected from wild musk cats, that is, common raccoons, or coconut raccoons. The cat is nocturnal in the coffee plantation, foraging for high-ripe coffee beans. Because it can't digest stones, fruits and cherries, these cherry stones and coffee beans pass through the civets' intestines and stomachs and then drain them whole. And what we see is a kind of civets called Luwak, which is also the most famous one. When the civets excrete coffee beans, the beans pass through the nearby genital palace, and the coffee beans are stained with the secreted oil, making the taste more layered!
