Foraged from the droppings of wild Kopi Luwaks (Civet Cats) in the Gayo Highlands of Northern Sumatra, in Indonesia. Properly foraged wild Kopi Luwak coffee is only ever available in very small quantities as the process of finding these droppings within large forests is exceptionally time consuming. The unique processing method of Kopi Luwak results in a unique flavour that is wonderfully balanced, velvety coffee with caramel sweetness, hazelnut and dark cocoa tones, and subtle acidity. The ‘magic’ of Kopi Luwak occurs in two parts. First, the Wild Luwak, using its acute sense of smell, selects the ripest coffee cherries. Then as it passes through the Luwak the digestive acids create a molecular change in the coffee bean, leaving it discernibly more brittle once collected and dried, enhancing the beans natural qualities. In 2013, Sea Island Coffee staff began work in Sumatra to develop an independent accredited certification standard for wild, ethically-sourced Civet Coffee in consultation with leading proponents of animal welfare, the World Animal Protection organization and food-certification experts. All Sea Island Coffees are freshly roasted to order and then packed immediately into one-way resealable bags to ensure that every cup tastes as fresh and vibrant as it should, then shipped to you direct from the Cambridgeshire roastery for the freshest coffee experience possible.
