Civet Coffee 

Civet coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world. Its made from coffee berries that have been eaten and passed through the digestive tract of the asian palm civet cat. When in the cats stomach. proteolytic enzymes seep into the beans making shorter peptides and more free amino acids. After the beans are roasted the beans yield an aromatic coffee with much less bitterness than regular coffee. Civet coffee is produced in Indonesia and the Philippines.

The origin of Kopi Luwak is closely connected with the history of Coffee production in Indonesia. In early 18th century The Dutch established the cash-crop plantations in their colony in the Dutch East Indies islands of Java and Sumatra, including Arabica coffee.The Dutch prohibited the native farmers and native plantation workers to pick coffee fruits for their own use. Yet the native farmers desired to have a taste of the famed coffee. Soon the natives learned that the Asian Palm Civet Cat consumed these coffee fruits, yet they left the coffee seeds undigested in their droppings. The natives collect these dropping coffee seeds; clean, roast and grind it to make coffee. The fame of aromatic civet coffee spread from locals to Dutch plantation owners and became a great discovery producing the most delicious coffee in the world.
