Of course I did not miss Kopi Luwak.

I was given a pack by a good friend from Indonesia, who told me that his does not come from wild cat! According to him, the cats are captured, and put into a cage each (as they do not get along), and being fed coffee beans….

Can anyone help me clarify this?

That post on how kopi luwak came about got me interested in this particular type of aromatic beans that processed in well… a pretty weird and gross way, but wow! what a special method…

So I am super curious as to how these beans taste and their special aroma.. I can almost imagine the scent drifting in my kitchen and my Chihuahua’s petite nose sniffing the coffee machine.

So, what are you waiting for? Pick me and I won’t need to imagine anymore!

Afterwards, to help ease the sensation-loss of going back to plain old kopi-o, I’ll start using gula malacca instead of sugar. (Lower GI too…)

You can get it at http://www.realkopiluwak.com, whose link I have also posted above. Good luck! :)

ps: and in case i dont win it, where do i buy it? :)

I cant imagine what something that has gone through a civet cat’s digestion system would taste like! :) Amazing. And in case i dont win it, where do i buy it?

I want to taste the real Kopi Luwak!

It’s not only one of the most expensive coffee in the world, it is also one with the strongest aroma. We had a hard time trying to figure out the right amount of sugar to add to it without losing its originality.

It was a great experience for us. We left not knowing whether we enjoy the kopi more or the place we drank it. But we sure be back the next time we are in Bali again.

Thanks for the intro to those who perhaps never heard of Kopi Luwak. I for one never have the chance to taste it when I studied in Spore many years ago.

Awesome blog anyway, Veron.
