FAQ of Cat (Luwak) Poop Coffee

Q.
What is Kopi Luwak/ Luwak Coffee?
A.
Kopi Luwak is coffee made from coffee beans that have been eaten by a Luwak. Regular coffee cherries are hand picked and the flesh of the berry is removed by mechanical means. When a coffee cherry is eaten by a Luwak the flesh is removed through digestion in the stomach of the Luwak, and the beans are collected after they have passed out of the Luwak.


Q.
What is a Luwak?
A.
The name Luwak, along with Lubak and Musang are all regional Indonesian names for the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxus hermaphroditus), a cat-like animal common to many south east Asian countries. There is an entire page devoted to the Luwak here Meet The Luwak.

Q.
Does Animalcoffee farm Luwaks for kopi luwak?
A.
No. All Animalcoffee kopi luwak is collected in plantations and the surrounding jungle and is the droppings of wild luwaks.

Q.
Where is Animalcoffee?
A.
Animalcoffee is an Indonesian company; all Animalcoffee orders are sent directly from one of our Indonesian offices.

Q.
Is Kopi Luwak real?
A.
Kopi Luwak is neither an urban myth nor a scam. After looking at other sites offering kopi luwak we wanted to present it in a way that customers could be sure that they were purchasing the genuine article, hence our including a sample of the natural unprocessed Luwak coffee in each box.

Q.
Why does Kopi Luwak taste so much better than other coffees?
A.
There are both technical and practical reasons for the superior taste of Kopi Luwak.
Luwak use their keen sense of smell to select the very best ripe coffee beans. A Luwak will visit a plantation and eat only a fraction of the available beans, leaving any that are inferior or not quite ready on the tree. This means that the beans are individually selected by an animal that is specially adapted for this purpose and is far superior to humans at doing this.
Laboratory tests have demonstrated that there is also a qualitative reason why kopi luwak beans taste better than other coffee. As the beans pass through the digestive tract of the Luwak, the acids in the stomach of the Luwak permeate the bean and leach out some of the proteins in the bean responsible for its bitterness resulting in a sweeter coffee bean. A more technical explanation can be found here New Research Explains Structure, Taste of Kopi Luwak.

Q.
Do Luwaks only eat coffee beans?
A.
Coffee is a seasonal fruit so it isn't always available for the Luwak to eat. Luwak are omnivorous and will eat many other fruits in addition to eggs, cheese and even some meat if given the opportunity.

Quote from The Coffee Critic...
[I]It has a little of everything pleasurable in all coffees: earthy, musty tone, the heaviest bodied I've ever tasted. It's almost syrupy, and the aroma is very unique." While it won't be turning up in every neighborhood café any day soon, Starbucks bought some for cuppings within the company.

The aroma was rich and strong, and the coffee was incredibly full bodied, almost syrupy. It was thick, with a hint of chocolate, and lingered on the tongue with a long, clean aftertaste.[/I]

It DOES make a pretty good cup of coffee!

LOL, not interested...

The Asians it seems will try and sell anything to the Americans. $80.00 for a pound of recycled coffee is unbelievable. Well in there mind all us Americans are rich and do not know what to do with our money. We all live in Hollywood, drive Mercedies or Royces, and have sex with 6 partners every day. So why not sell us something like this.

der_wille_zur_macht 01/07/2008 09:07 AM

Right, but paying $120 per polyp for the coral of the day makes perfect sense!
