The Art of Luwak Coffee Production
01
Nature’s Perfect Start - The Coffee Cherry
Our story begins with the coffee cherry. Grown in the rich volcanic soils of Sumatra, these cherries are carefully nurtured by small, family-owned farms. The climate of Indonesia, with its year-round warmth and rainfall, provides the perfect environment for the
coffee trees to thrive.
But it’s not just any coffee cherry that becomes Luwak Coffee. Only the ripest cherries are chosen by the civets, the small, nocturnal mammals whose digestive system will play a criticalrole in the flavor profile of the beans.
02
The Civet’s Touch - Nature’s Secret Ingredient
Here’s where the magic happens. Unlike traditional coffee, Luwak Coffee begins its journey not in a coffee plantation but in the stomach of the civet. The civet, a smal, cat-like creature, forages for the most succulent, ripe cherries during its nightly adventures.
The cherries pass through the civet’s digestive system, where the natural fermentation process begins. The cherries are not digested, but rather undergo a unique enzymatic transformation that affects the beans’ chemical structure. This process removes any bitterness from the beans, enhancing their natural sugars and creating a smooth, melow flavor that is impossible to replicate.
03
The Collection - Nature’s Bounty
After the cherries have passed through the civet’s digestive system, the beans are retrieved from the droppings. Though the process may sound unusual, the beans are carefully handpicked by skilled workers.
It is at this stage that the magic of Luwak Coffee truly reveals itself. The beans, now separated from their cherry skin, are washed thoroughly to remove any impurities. This is a delicate process that ensures the beans are clean and ready for the next stage.
