The most expensive coffee in the world-Kopi Luwah coffee from Sumatra. The price is as high as $300 per pound!

However, there is one kind of coffee that beats the so-called top coffee listed above with its unique taste, rarity, and strange production process. The name of this coffee is KOPI LUWAK. The annual output is only about 500 pounds. Scarcity is the most expensive thing. The price of KOPI LUWAK is $300 a pound. The price may reflect its rare characteristics, while its "production" process can be described as "rare".

KOPI (Indonesian, coffee) LUWAK is produced in Sumatra, Zawa, and Sulvish and is part of the 13677 islands of Indonesia. LUWAK coffee is as expensive as gold and silver is not an infinite scenery on a fake island, but because of how it is produced.

On these islands in Indonesia, there is a kind of marsupial civet cat, which belongs to the genus tree-borne civet. Locals hate these raccoons because they often eat the most ripe and reddest coffee fruits in coffee trees. I do not know who first thought that this kind of animal can eat, digest and defecate. Some are shameless, desperate, or simply because lazy locals pick out more complete beans wrapped in pulp slime from raccoon droppings. Perhaps it is through the fermentation of enzymes in the animal stomach that this kind of coffee bean has a unique flavor.

Interestingly, this particular "production process" is not unique to the coffee industry. The rubber-like ARGAN tree is produced in Morogo and produces olive-shaped fruit that can extract ARGAN oil. In Moro, the cypress drove the sheep up the tree and let the sheep eat the fruit of the tree. Then they collect sheep dung, remove the dung, and squeeze the fruit out of ARGAN oil. ARGAN oil can be used for massage, eating and aphrodisiac.

It is assumed that from the very beginning, Indonesian islanders have used it to avoid tree climbing and produce the most expensive coffee in the world. What's the taste of this coffee? The palate is very thick with a touch of caramel. Although the coffee beans are stale and jungle fragrance, the baked beans have a very complex aroma. Because the stomach acid and enzymes in the digestive system of raccoons are very different from the fermentation process of coffee with water, the coffee is as thick as syrup. KOPI LUWAK coffee tastes mellow and lubricated. Coffee as thick as chocolate pulp gives your tongue a long and clear aftertaste.
