Kopi Luwak was once thought of as an urban legend. In 2007, it was featured in The Bucket List, as one of the important things to do/drink before you die. Now, popularly known as the most expensive coffee in the world, it has certainly become a talking piece among coffee drinkers. Having seen prices on the internet ranging from $195 to $600 per pound, you’ll be surprised to know how these coffee beans are “made”. Watch as I learn and take my first taste in this video:
I can’t decide for you whether it’s worth the price or not, but for me, it was certainly worth trying at least once. Check out Indo Civet Coffee, owned by a friend of my friend Le. They’re among the cheapest sellers of this special coffee, and we thought it was notably delicious.
