Description
Two origins, one ritual
Gold Label (Bengkulu, Southwest Sumatra, Indonesia): Orange and a wine-like brightness up front, a hint of roasted truffle through the middle, and a soft, sweet lychee finish.
Black Label (Gayo highlands, Northern Sumatra, Indonesia): Exotic spice and deep ripe berry on the nose, roasted chestnut through the body, and a lingering black-fruit pastille finish.
We suggest tasting them side by side: brew both the same way, taste each black, and notice how the brighter Gold Label opens up as it cools while the Black Label deepens.

Questions, answered
What is Kopi Luwak?
Kopi Luwak, or civet coffee, is coffee made from beans that have been eaten and passed by the Asian palm civet. The civet selects the ripest cherries, and natural fermentation during digestion softens bitterness and adds complexity. The beans are then collected, cleaned, dried and roasted like any fine coffee.
Is Cluwak Kopi Luwak from wild civets?
Cluwak sources only from wild, free-roaming civets in the forests of Sumatra, Indonesia. The civets choose the ripest cherries themselves, and the beans are collected by local farmers.
What is the difference between Gold Label and Black Label?
Gold Label, from Bengkulu in Southwest Sumatra, is bright and luminous, with orange, roasted truffle and lychee. Black Label, from the Gayo highlands of Northern Sumatra, is deeper and more composed, with spice, ripe berry and roasted chestnut.
Is this pack suitable as a gift?
Yes. The Introduction Pack brings both Labels together, which makes it a natural gift for anyone who loves exceptional coffee.

Ruel B., Norway-Europe –
Delicate, gently bright with crisp, hazelnut-toned flavor with lively, savory-sweet taste. Cluwak has smooth lemony acidity that fades in an otherwise rich, sweet finish. A superb blend.
Jeremy F.,New Hampshire –
The first time I discovered Kopi luwak was about 9 years ago. I had never enjoyed a cup of coffee that much before. I have tried the others blends but nothing tastes as good as Cluwak. It is strong and full-bodied but it is not bitter or acidic. I love the caffeine kick, too!
Fred M. Incheon S. Korea –
Quiet, round, chocolaty, butter, dark chocolate, plum/apricot and a hint of raisin in aroma. Resonant acidity, creamy, full, yet buoyant and smooth taste. A hint of chocolate carries into a delicate, drying finish.
Dana V. Luxem-Europe –
Terrific flavor, quietly distinctive dark chocolate fragrance. Kopi Luwak coffee is just fantastic with very lightly syrupy sensation and gently drying long finish that is flavor-drenched.
Claudio J., Cyprus-Asia –
Bright and refreshing, yet complex and intricate. Cluwak has impressively syrupy taste with a pool of fruit-toned chocolate and a clean, long finish.
Philip D.,Perth,Australia –
I have heard about cat poop coffee and I did not think I would have the courage to try it. But a friend once served Kopi luwak after dinner at his home and I was surprised at how smooth and how interesting its flavor was! I asked him about how to order the beans online and after getting my own bag, I never stopped ordering the stuff!
Loren R, NY City,USA –
I am hooked! Ever since I tasted my first cup of Kopi Luwak I cannot help but get my own bag to brew at home. It has that fruity, chocolatey, flavor to die for, that makes it worth its price. Now I serve it to my friends whenever I host a party at home.
Regina T., Brazil –
My husband is a coffee lover and he introduced me to Cluwak before we got married. We enjoy its floral aroma and choco-caramel flavor. It has not bitterness at all, unlike other types of strong coffee, and best of all, it has no after taste. Every sip is a bliss!
James Modesto,Califonia –
I get that calming effect just after a cup of Cluwak, makes me think clearly, and finally, makes my day. I can’t let a day go by without, at least, a cup of Kopi Luwak.
Geraldo M. Carre.,Haiti –
Pungently sweet, gently roasty, with a hint of dark chocolate, and a peppery savoury note in aroma. Delicate, subdued acidity with smooth, lightly syrupy sensation. Simple, mildly drying finish.
Wesley O., Jamaica Carrb. –
Cluwak is richly complex with distinct dark chocolate and hazelnut scent with softly bright acidity. It has silky smooth sensation and ginger and dark chocolate drenched finish.
Chris M., Iceland-Europe –
Kopi Luwak is soft , sweet-toned, and straightforward. It has a strong spicy smell with a gentle roast-muted acidity. It also has a slightly rough sensation but fades into a long, bittersweet finish.
Arnold C., DVO, Phil. –
Cluwak tastes so much better than other coffee I have tasted. It has excellent flavor even without adding sugar or cream and it has no bitter aftertaste. You should try it.
Winston Channing,Texas –
Deeply pungent aroma and complex flavour with a wide range of sensation; apricot, fresh-cut cedar, crisp, fresh berry. Cluwak is smooth though rather light sensation as an appropriate complement to the lively aromatics and has a flavor-saturated but clean finish.
Sheryl L., NY, USA –
The rich aroma of Kopi Luwak is feisty. It has that certain character that coffee drinkers keep searching for in a coffee.
Ken M. Sydney,Australia –
My wife and I found Cluwak when we were invited by a friend to dinner. We got to taste its unique full bodied flavor, and we decided to try brewing it ourselves. We have loved it ever since.
Hubert Lewiston, Idaho –
Floral notes of Cluwak stretch from becoming imperceptible, delicate top notes to lushly rich aroma, with roasted cacao nib and kiwi/lemon complications. It has round, rich acidity with lightly syrupy, lively sensation in the mouth. The finish is drying but long and flower-saturated.
Dan N., Ca, USA –
I just moved to San Diego, Ca from Italy. My cousin and his wife from San Francisco came to visit last December and brought a bag of Cluwak as a gift. We all agreed that it was the BEST coffee we had ever had! We kept brewing more coffee, then I asked him where he orders the coffee. So now I buy it and send it to friends and relatives.
Tony K. Erzurum,Turkey –
Subtle and surprising in its complexity with a hint of sweet chocolate in aroma. Gently bright, juicy acidity, light, silky taste. Chocolate and nut in particular sustain in a long, drying but sweet finish.
Donald R., Texas, USA –
It’s totally worth its price! But I wouldn’t drink it every day. I’d bring it out on special occasions or as a special treat for coffee lovers. 100 grams of Kopi Luwak will be great for coffees at a dinner party, about the same price many people would pay for a bottle of premium wine.
Elizabeth L. Vene.-USA –
Cluwak has sweetly sharp, deep, vibrant, and biting taste with cedarish cocoa fragrance. Resonant, rich, and bright acidity. Lavish, luxurious, but crisp sensation lightly fades in the rich, long finish.
Jack B., South Africa –
I thought they were just joking about cat poop coffee, but when I got to smell its unique nutty aroma and taste its strong flavor I knew I found the best coffee ever! Definitely something to rave about, given its rarity and price!
Jill R., Ireland –
I thank my friend for introducing me to the best coffee in the world! It has made my life more exciting!
John H., UK –
I’m not a coffee lover but having tasted Cluwak I guess I might have to reconsider and make it a part of my everyday routine. I never thought coffee could taste like this.
