Product Description
Extremely rare and coveted, Philippine Alamid Kopi Luwak coffee is produced by civets, a relative of the mongoose, who have a taste for the sweet, red coffee cherries that contain the beans. The beans pass through the civet after fermenting in the stomach and that's what gives the coffee its unique taste and aroma. Collected from the jungle floor, then thoroughly washed and dried - this is the coffee that everyone's been talking about. With earthy Sumatra-like tones, the Philippine Alamid Kopi Luwak has a heavy, caramel body and low acidity, but also a nuance in the taste that is hard to put the finger on. Perhaps that is unsurprising given the unorthodox method of processing.

Well truly who is going to buy this coffee without a frisson of mischievousness? I'd heard about recovering choice coffee beans from the poo of discerning beasts years ago on Radio 4. The innards of the civet cat supposedly remove some of the caffein and bitterness from the bean while it is digesting the juicy outer "cherry" of the coffee fruit itself. Ultimately you always will have that taboo at the back of your mind- but you only live once........
Well it's certainly delicious and distinctive, just as everyone says... the description from the supplier's site is accurate- this mildly roasted coffee is chocolately, slightly earthy, with rich tones, yet mild- it's also got a great way of producing a second burst of flavour in your mouth which lingers tantalisingly for a few seconds and has a note that is still tingling in my mouth as I write. Would I repeat buy this coffee, though?.. no. The price is a reflection of the rarity at least by the time it hits this country (and good value compared with other suppliers)... but it's not SO outstanding to repeat the pleasure (I wouldn't say no if anyone offered me a cup however).
The service from this marketplace own-brand seller was excellent and the beans (only 2 ounces) came in a brilliant resealable bag. I will definitely be exploring the other coffee varieties they offer at some future point which definitely sound.....interesting! Didn't Bruce Parry spend some time with the Ashaninka tribe in Peru?

I knew Kopi Luwak was expensive before I bought it, if I am not mistaken it's the worlds most expensive coffee (?) but! Sea Island Coffee is offering it at a rather good price compared to other retailers.
The coffee is lovely and mild, definitely better than my average cup of coffee.
The extraordinary way it is produced really does affect the taste but I tried not to think too long on how it is consumed by a civet cat...
The service from Sea Island Coffee was great and the coffee arrived just two days after ordering it. Defintiely worth my reccomendation.

Gave this coffee along with two others for a Christmas gift to my sister. Not a lot of coffee for the money (clearly this is obvious before I bought it). Didn't go for a fancy tin, the packaging was fine as the coffee didn't last long. It was noticably a cut above usual blends. Was it worth it? Well neither of us would buy it for ourselves but I am glad I did buy it as a gift - it was a treat...
Listmania!
