Quality Coffee

The world's rarest (and most expensive) coffee is Kopi Luwak from Indonesia. Why? The Luwak is a cat-sized, fruit-eating mammal. It feasts on ripe coffee berries but the beans inside pass through undigested. The beans are gathered and lightly roasted to preserve the ‘complex flavours’ believed to be caused by enzymes in the stomach of the Luwak – the resulting taste is said to resemble chocolate.
