In Indonesia, on the skeletons of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi, cute musangi animals (Malay palm civet, a predator of the viverrov family) like to feast on sweet fruits on the branches of coffee trees.
These forest dwellers have long been considered pests, as they eat a lot of coffee tree fruits, instinctively choosing the most delicious and ripe berries. So much so that the vast majority of the fruit is not digested, but is amenable to fermentation, during which only the outer shell of the coffee berry dissolves.
After some time, it is not known for certain under what circumstances one of the farmers thought of washing coffee beans from musang excrement, frying them and brewing a drink. What was the surprise of the tasters! The drink made from grains processed in such an unusual way has an incredible memorable taste – mainly dark chocolate with notes of brown cane sugar, acidity is practically absent, the bitterness is pleasant chocolate.
Kopi Luwak – in the Indonesian dialect of the Malay language means coffee Luwak (local name musanga).
The most valuable coffee is collected in the forests where wild animals live. Because now this method of production has acquired an industrial scale: animals are kept in cages and fed coffee fruits, leaving no choice. The coffee presented in this product is produced by wild musangs living in the western region of the island of Java.
