The Indonesian island of Sulawesi is geologically ancient, dating back more than 100 million years. This long history has resulted in soils with a high iron content – thought to affect coffee flavor. The region boasts of Arabica plantations high-grown on mountainous terrain. The coffees are clean and sound in the cup, generally displaying nutty or warm spice notes, like cinnamon, cardamom and at times, a hint of black pepper. Their sweetness is closely related to the body of the coffee and the after-taste is smooth and soft.
Luwak, Indonesia’s beloved civet cat is found in the wild jungles. Their love for these coffee berries have propelled luwak coffee to being one of the world’s most expensive. Fermented in the cat’s digestive tract, the beans are defecated and later collected by farmers.
