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

In the international market, Luwak coffee has always been a veritable luxury, and one of the main reasons is that it is not made by people but by wild animals. Traditionally, the coffee fruit is washed or sun-treated, removing the skin, pulp and sheep skin, and finally taking out the coffee beans, but Luwak coffee is made by natural fermentation in wild animals. What's more, these wild animals are found only on small islands like Indonesia, and their time and place are mysterious, and their number is decreasing day by day. Although Indonesia has claimed that the number of "civets" has rebounded steadily through protection and artificial feeding, the temptation of human taste buds, which depends on its digestive system, cannot be compared with products of the industrial era.

"civets" are omnivores. They are withdrawn by nature and like to walk at night. They live in tropical rain forests, subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, mountain thickets or hills, mountains and grasses below 2000 meters above sea level. Its food includes small beasts, birds, amphibians and reptiles, crustaceans, fruits and seeds of insects and plants. The civet likes to choose the most mature, sweet, juicy coffee fruit in the coffee tree as food, while the coffee fruit passes through its digestive system and is digested only by the pulp on the outside of the fruit. The hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the civets' digestive system. This is the "natural fermentation method" that was once scoffed by Americans. It is said that when Americans heard about this way of making coffee, it was regarded as a fantasy, and it was not until it was reported by National Geographic that they became interested in it.

The world's most luxurious coffee, the world's most expensive coffee, the world's rarest coffee.

There are always people who describe KopiLuwak in this way, which sounds like a boring anecdote

I can't help thinking of Oscar Wilde's words.

People always pay too much attention to the price of things, but often ignore their own value. Forget the rumors of clumsy and useless embellishments
