Kopi Luwak is an exotic arabica coffee produced from coffee cherries partially digested by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). They live in the woods around the mountain plantation and consume coffee cherries for dessert. They are capable to distinguish the right coffee cherries with ideal ripeness. Cherries ferment in the intestines of a civet and are collected along after being defecated. The fermentation that occurs in the civet's digestive tract affects the flavour of the coffee. We use full wash process to produce Kopi Luwak.
We carefully prepare a 12-hour wet fermentation process of arabica coffee cherry prior to full washing process. We serve both wet and dry fermentation upon customer request. The following step involves washing the fermented coffee cherry with pure water. We ensure that the washing process has removed all mucus from the fermented coffee cherry. The clean coffee beans are then sun-dried in a greenhouse until the moisture content is 12%. It takes between five and seven days, depending on the weather. After a huller machine separates the shells from the beans, coffee beans in the form of green beans are prepared to be roasted.
