Our Little Friend Behind the Beans

Deep in the lush forests of Indonesia lives a shy creature called the luwak (or Asian palm civet). Small, wild, and wonderfully selective, our little friend plays a surprisingly big role in creating one of the most unique coffees on Earth.

With a natural instinct for quality, the luwak eats only the ripest, sweetest coffee cherries—something even trained farmers can’t always match. This instinctive choice is the first step in the remarkable journey of Luwak coffee.
