Kopi LuwakThe Palm Civet or marsupial luwak of Indonesia a tree climbing animal that ranges in weight from three to ten pounds uses it's sense of smell and eyesight to seek out it's favorite treat the ripest coffee cherries. The Palm Civet or Luwak passes the cherry through the digestive track where the beans exit the animal basically intact. The beans are then patiently harvested from the forest floor near coffee plantations carefully cleaned and roasted.
The beans are usually given a light to dark roast to avoid destruction of the complex flavors which have developed through the process. This unique processing is said to give the resulting coffee a rich, heavy flavor with some hints of caramel or chocolate. Some other words used to describe this cup of joe by those fortunate enough to try it have been earthy, musty and exotic with syrupy body and smooth flavor. The University of Guelph did a study in which they examined the chemical and physical properties of the Kopi Luwak coffee bean and compared them to that of a regular coffee bean. Their results are quite interesting. They found the unroasted Kopi Luwak coffee beans had more red and yellow tones than a Columbian coffee bean. They also found the Kopi Luwak gourmet coffee bean to have less total protein, less bacterial count, some pitting on the surface of the coffee bean and different compounds. This may explain why the Kopi Luwak coffee is said to be less bitter and have a different aroma than other gourmet coffee.

We discovered the Arabica of the most outstanding kind on a small plantation in the district of Nuwakot. Located at the foothills of the Ganesh Himal mountain chain, the flowing waters of the Trisuli river vivify this area. This coffee was a planted just recently in one of the regions at this latitude sheltered from frost. The local buffalo pastures naturally ferment the coffee, which gathered from November to January. The beans are exclusively sun-dried. Espresso sensory analysis unveiled a striking and completely unexpected outcome.
