World's Rarest
Gourmet Coffee Beverage!

Kopi Luak (pronounced ['kopi 'luwak]) or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) and other related civets. The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Motit Coffee in the Cordillera, or Kape Alamid in Tagalog areas) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku).

The Most Expensive Coffee in the World

Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, and is sold mainly in Japan and the United States by weight, and served in coffeehouses in Southeast Asia by the cup. It is increasingly becoming available elsewhere, though supplies are limited; only 1,000 pounds (450 kg) at most make it into the world market each year.

Kopi Luwak Coffee - $65 a cup!

One small cafe, the Heritage Tea Rooms, in the hills outside Townsville in Queensland, Australia, has Kopi Luak coffee on the menu at A$50 (US$33) per cup, selling approximately seven cups a week, which has gained nationwide Australian and international press, creating over $5 Million AUD of media attention for this rare coffee.

In April 2008, the brasserie of Peter Jones department store in London's Sloane Square started selling a blend of Kopi Luak peanut and Blue Mountain called Caffe Raro for £50 (US$99) a cup. It has also recently become available at Selfridges, London, as part of their "Edible" range of exotic foods and beverages. The coffee may also be bought by the cup or as beans at The Funnel Mill in Santa Monica, California. It is also available in Toronto, Canada.
