black soul

I finally had Luwak coffee/Civet coffee for the first time in my life last week. A work mate brought a package of the most expensive coffee and she shared with the whole office, how nice of her. The scent of the coffee was undoubtedly delicious and so was the taste. I don’t mind to experience it again in the future. However, here is some info about Luwak coffee: Kopi Luwak (pronounced [ˈkopi 'luak]) or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) and other related civets. The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Motit Coffee in the Cordillera, or Kape Alamid in Tagalog areas) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku). Local lore in Vietnam has given the name "weasel coffee" to civet coffee, in what is considered the closest recognizable translation to English. (source: Wikipedia)

And surprise, I just found out that one of the world’s best whiskey brands, Jack Daniels also produced coffee…. I have yet to taste but planning to do so in near future.
