Luwak Coffee - World's Most Expensive Coffee


Tak mampu nak menginap di hotel termahal di dunia, pakai kasut or handbag termahal di dunia, drive kereta yang termahal di dunia tapi I consider myself lucky because I get to taste world's most expensive coffee; Luwak Coffee. Thanks to my uncle (Pakcik Lan) because without him, tak dapat la saya nak merasa kopi termahal di dunia ni. Ramai yang bertanya, pasai apa pulak kopi ni termahal di dunia??? 1st, kopi ni tak dihasilkan dalam skala atau kuantiti yang besar. 2nd, kopi ni dihasilkan dari najis sejenis musang (refer gambar di atas) di mana musang ni makan bijik kopi ni dan najis yang dikeluarkan, diproses dan dijadikan kopi. 3rd, bukan sebarangan bijik kopi yang musang ni nak makan, hanya bijik kopi yang terbaekkkkkk!!!!! Pendek kata, musang ni very the cerewet. For more info about Luwak Coffee, please read the article below.

Kopi luwak (Malay pronunciation: [ˈkopi ˈlu.aʔ]), or civet coffee, is one of the world's most expensive and low-production coffee. It is made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) and other related civets, then passed through its digestive tract.[1] A civet eats the berries for their fleshy pulp. In its stomach, proteolytic enzymes seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids. 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, widely noted as the most expensive coffee in the world.
Kopi luwak is produced mainly on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, and also in the Philippines (where the product is called motit coffee in the Cordillera and kape alamid in Tagalog areas) and also in East Timor (where it is called kafé-laku). Weasel coffee is a loose English translation of its name cà phê Chồn in Vietnam, where popular, chemically simulated versions are also produced.

Saw this coffee once kat Bangsar Shopping Centre. 100gm for RM526. I bought from my uncle who is now working and living in Indonesia for RM75 for 50gm. The taste; tak boleh nak describe. The best coffee I've ever taste.

So for the coffee lovers out there, your 'bucket's list' is never complete until you have a cup of Luwak Coffee in your hand.
