Up MERAPI TRIP 2008 » Kopi Luwak Slideshow

Kopi Luwak (pronounced [ˈkopi ˈluwak]) 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). The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Kape Alamid) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku). We had a chance to try it out on the final day of the adventures and we did. It taste a bit strong and thick, and the taste remains for a couple of minutes after you sip it followed by a short headache after that :) I guess that was just me...
