A few weeks ago, I met a new friend named Ken. Ken roasts coffee and I roast coffee, we became fast friends. Ken is a retired Marine helicopter pilot who now focuses on serving and volunteering in his retirement. Indonesia is home to the world's most expensive coffee, Kopi Luwak.
Kopi Luwak is special because it is processed in such a unique way.
You can learn about processing coffee by clicking here. Anyways, this coffee is processed not by humans or machines, but, no pun intended, by an animal. It is processed in the most natural of ways. Yes, straight through the digestive tract. An animal that looks like a raccoon likes to eat the coffee, but doesn't chew the seed. Therefore, after a day or so the coffee bean "reappears" fully processed. Thus, the most unique and expensive coffee in the world. (You can find it at Amazon for $100+/lb) Yep, thats right and you can join me in enjoying this bold, but mellow goodness. So, check out
Tanduk Coffee and get some for yourself. And, for the less adventurous, they also sell some very good "traditionally" processed coffee. Enjoy!
