Hamid & Kareema at Luwak Coffee plantation

Sensational Luwak Coffee ( Asian Palm Civet ) experience ever  in Bali 
 
Is one of the world's most expensive and low-production varieties of coffee. It is made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by the luwak ( Asian Palm Civet ) and other related civets, then passed through its digestive track. A civet eats the berries for their fleshy pulp. In its stomach,photolytic enzyme seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acid. Passing through a civet's intestines  the beans are then defecated , keeping their shape. After gathering, thorough washing, sun drying, light roasting and brewing, these beans yield an aromatic coffee with much less bitterness
 
The origin of Kopi Luwak is closely connected with the history of coffee plantation In the early 18th century the dutch established the cash -crop plantations in their colony in Dutch east indies islands of Java and Sumatra, including Arabica coffee introduced from Yemen.
 

Kopi luwak is a name for many specific cultivars and blends of arabica, robusta, liberica, excelsa or other beans eaten by civets, hence the taste can vary greatly. Nonetheless, kopi luwak coffees have a shared aroma profile and flavor characteristics, along with their lack of bitterness.
