The Kopi Luwak or the civet coffee has its origins in Indonesia. It is prepared by processing the ordinary coffee beans in an extremely unique and complicated process. The coffee beans are the main food of the civet cat. During the digestive process the coffee cherries and the pulp are removed but the coffee beans aren't digested. It has been proven that this special coffee has medicinal properties as well. The coffee separated from its faeces is processed to make the Kopi Luwak. The unique fermentation that happens in the civet's digestive system gives the coffee its unique flavour. Growing civets in cages to produce Kopi Luwak on a commercial basis has now become very common in Indonesia.
