Kopi Luwak, also known as civet coffee, is grown in Indonesia. In Indonesian, "Kopi" means coffee, and "Luwak" is the name commonly known by Indonesians as "civet".

During the colonial period in the early 18th century, Dutch colonists established coffee bean plantations on the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. And local people are prohibited from picking and eating coffee fruits grown by themselves. The farmers found that local civets also ate coffee fruits, but they could still see complete coffee beans in their feces, so they took the undigested coffee beans back to wash, roast, grind and drink. So they produced their own coffee drinks. However, the coffee obtained in this way seemed to taste far more than they had imagined-it smelled strong and fragrant, and this special fragrance made the musk Kopi Luwak widely spread among the local people and the Dutch colonists, and soon became their favorite. Since then, Kopi Luwak has spread all over the world.

Musk cats only choose the most ripe and sweetest coffee beans, which in itself is a natural screening. Second, locals find that these beans are fermented by the cat's stomach to produce coffee that tastes better than ordinary ones. Mellow and delicious Kopi Luwak gradually

Traditionally, coffee fruit is washed or tanned to remove the peel, pulp and sheep skin, and finally take out the coffee beans, but Luwak uses the method of natural fermentation in the body to remove the coffee beans, so it has a special flavor. There is a kind of civet named Luwak in the mountains of Indonesia who likes to eat multi-paddle coffee fruit, but the hard coffee seeds cannot be digested. With fecal discharge, Indonesians find that the coffee beans fermented by civets' intestines and stomach are very thick and mellow, so they collect civets' feces, sift them out, brew them and boil them to drink.

It is said that the coffee produces no more than 500 pounds a year, and the price per pound ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the year, because there is not a fixed production every year. It is the poop of an arboreal wild animal called "Musk Cat" on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, and through several processes such as selection, drying, deodorization, processing and baking, it produces the rarest, most unique and most expensive coffee in the world.

From the moment of brewing, the whole air was filled with an attractive aroma.

There is a kind of delicate fragrance in the throat that can not be swallowed and cannot be picked up, which is stuck in the throat, gradually giving birth to a salty taste similar to tears, and then begins to have the sweetness of a kind of fruit wood, slowly soaked in the mouth, a long aftertaste.

The overall feeling is very pleasantly surprised. It is not a taste experience at all with the previous drinks such as Manning, Yega Sheffield, Kaduai and so on.
