Caffelab INDONESIA Kopi Luwak

Perhaps the most extraordinary discussed and (average) expensive coffee in the world. The beans are ingested and evacuated by the Luwak, small rodents of the Indonesian forests, whose gastric enzymes are able to give the coffee an extraordinary, chocolaty aroma and unparalleled body.

We are pleased to declare that the Kopi Luwak that Caffèlab sells comes from plantations where the protagonist animal of the enzymatic process, the famous civet, lives free.

This coffee was tasted, for this evaluation, extracted in espresso at 92 °, with an extraction of 25 ml in 23 seconds. The degassing of the coffee lasted 60 hours (two and a half days). The crema is full-bodied, tending to dark but not greyish as in the case of some Robusta coffees. The aroma brings us marked cocoa sensations that distinguish these coffees. On the nose, we perceive toasted sensations. To the taste, the coffee is decidedly full-bodied and a marked sweetness is perceived on the tip of the tongue. The aroma and acidity are well balanced.
