Superlatively expensive, civet coffee or kopi luwak is
famously prepared for roasting by passage through a civet cat. Its legendary
reputation is up to snuff.
Civet coffee or kopi luwak is variously marketed as
'cat-poo coffee' or occasionally 'the most expensive coffee in the world'. The
reason it's so costly is that, rather than harvesting the coffee fruit (coffee
cherries) and extracting the bean by the usual methods, some Sumatran villagers
collect the faeces of the civet cats which live on the plantations and pick out
the beans.
It's said that the beans taste better either because of
something that happens to them inside the cat, or possibly because the clever
little beasts pick only the finest and ripest of fruit. Only about half a tonne
is produced each year and the headlines just write themselves.
Kopi luwak producers have recently begun to set their
little gatherers loose on Arabica rather than Robusta beans. This is a much
better flavoured variety. On first taste it's fantastic with all of the higher
notes you tend to get with a well-roasted bespoke coffee.
The history of civet coffee (kopi luwak) cannot be
separated from the history of its origin country, Indonesia. This country has
been long revered for its well-known coffee harvests. Indonesia was a Dutch
colony since 16th century. In the early days, the Dutch established the
cash-crop plantations which included coffee plantations in Indonesia’s Sumatra
and Java Island. During the colony period, the Dutch disallowed the native
coffee farmers to collect coffee fruits for their own consumptions. However,
those farmers also had a high desire for coffee beverage.
Soon, they realized that certain species of civet (luwak)
ate those coffee cherries, yet they left the coffee cherries undigested in
their droppings. The natives figured it was easier to collect the coffee
cherries from the ground rather than having to pick them from the trees. They
then collected the cherries, cleaned, roasted and ground it to make coffee
beverage. Surprisingly, it produced a remarkable coffee aroma. From then, the
fame of aromatic civet coffee (kopi luwak) spread from the natives to Dutch
coffee plantation owners and soon became everyone’s favorite till nowadays, and
the best of civet coffee is known produced in the highlands of West Java.
