Blind Assessment
Sweet grain, hazelnut, hints of orange and strawberry in the aroma and, much more intensely, in the cup. Crisp, quietly lively acidity; very lightly creamy mouthfeel. The strawberry and orange notes faintly persist in a clean, straightforward finish.
Notes
This coffee, grown in Taiwan at an altitude of 3,600 feet, was processed adding a civet cat’s enzyme extract during the fermentation stage in an attempt to mimic the cup character of the notorious “kopi luwak,” coffee that is passed through the intestinal tracts of civet cats, aka luwaks. This coffee was grown and specially processed using civet cat enzyme by farmer Chang Jin-Ker. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Those in pursuit of the exotic and experimental. Displays some of the orangy nut character of authentic civet-cat coffees. In other respects, a cleanly balanced coffee from an unusual origin.
