Monkey coffee

Last Updated: 2025/08/21, You may have heard of Kopi Luwak, a coffee bean obtained by eating cherry coffee, digested and excreted by a civet cat. This kind of coffee is really a wonder in the coffee world! But now, Kopi Luwak is not the only "animal-processed" coffee. Currently in Chickmagalur, India, it produces this kind of coffee called Monkey Caf.

Rhesus monkeys in India sneak into coffee plantations, choose the best coffee cherries to eat, temporarily store the beans in their cheeks until they are filled up and spit them on the floor. This is the unique "animal processing" of monkey coffee (which sounds better than Kopi Luwak).

After that, Indian workers laboriously collected the coffee beans and let them be rinsed, washed, and dried. Monkey coffee raw beans are gray in color and swim the traces of monkey teeth. Because monkey saliva causes the enzymes in coffee beans to break down and neutralize, thus changing the overall flavor of coffee.

Like Kopi Luwak, Monkey Coffee is not cheap. It costs about $320 a pound.
