Luwak Coffee – the world most expensive coffee
Yes, this is it… the valuable product from Asian palm civets
The three phases of Kopi Luwak Coffee – the fecal matter of cibets – cleaned coffee cherries – and roasted coffee beans
Coffee beans roasting
Final step – coffee grinding
The most expensive coffee has its own preparation ritual in coffee syphon
Civets are wild animals and their diet is variable
While in captivity they often have unilateral diet leading to health problems
The life in captivity also reflects on the mental state of the animals
