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.
How does Black Label differ from the other 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.
How should I store it?
Keep the pouch sealed in a cool, dark, dry place away from strong odours. Whole beans keep their character longest; for the best cup, enjoy within a few weeks of opening.
How is it shipped?
Complimentary worldwide express shipping (EMS) with tracking. Orders are usually dispatched within 24 hours. A tracking number is emailed as soon as your order is on its way.
Micah J., Singapore –
It has distinct hints of spicy cedar, sweet chocolate and nut flavor, and intense aroma. Each cup of Cluwak is low in acidity yet has biting and lushly rich taste.
William K., Florida, USA –
Kopi Luwak is an extraordinary coffee which almost defies description with its aromatic complexity. The acidity is gentle and backgrounded but vibrant. The finish is long and deeply flavor-saturated.
Rex K., Greenland-America –
Intense, resonant, rich, striking blackberry and dark chocolate Cluwak taste with finely balanced, soft acidity. Cedar, dark chocolate, and roasted nut saturate the rich, long finish. So refreshing.

Donald L.Sydney,Australia –
Crisp, finely structured, quietly distinctive. Creamy, full yet buoyant sensation. Pungent sandalwood in aroma but profoundly flavor- saturated finish. Cluwak is powerful yet elegantly straight-shot coffee.
Paul S., Comoros-Africa –
Cluwak has a striking roasted cacao nib in scent with richly juicy acidity and silky sensation. Flavor carries deep into a balanced and long finish. Costly but worth it.

Delicate but lush, intensely sweet, pungent fresh-cut cedar in aroma, lightly syrupy taste. Flavor consolidates but sustains in a long, deep finish.
Walter M., Canada –
Today I’ve experienced my very first cup of Kopi Luwak. I am what you might call a coffee snob and I don’t usually buy just any brand of coffee. I order my brews online from Mexico, Costa Rica, and Hawaii. But now with this find, I will be ordering coffee that comes from Indonesia! This coffee is definitely expensive but worth every dollar because of the process it goes through before it reaches your cup.
Jim Limburg,Netherlands –
Kopi Luwak is sweet-toned with an exotic shifting complexity. Smooth, slightly syrupy savor. Sweetly and richly chocolate-toned with a gently tart fruit that resonates with particular distinction in a long finish.
Roger S., Borgholm,Sweden –

I was hesitant at first to taste Cluwak but my friend was very insistent that I should try it, at least. He was right. I loved it the moment it touched my mouth. The best coffee I ever had.
Michelle F. Abu Dhabi,UAE –
Cluwak is the most intricate coffee in the market today. A superb complex combination of qualities of a splendid coffee mix. A standout above the rest.

Nari, M., Patna, INDIA –
It comes in strong but once inside the mouth it mellows down to a dark-chocolatey taste up to the last drop. This is the distinctive taste of Cluwak that distinguishes it from other coffee.
Robert M., Alberta, CAN –
I have never tasted coffee like Kopi Luwak. You’ll keep asking for more, that is, if you have the money because it’s going to cost you.
Jules N, Arizona, USA –
I had the pleasure of discovering Cluwak by accident, which is the best way to discover most things one really likes. I went back home to my little hometown in Arizona to visit my parents. My father, who loves coffee, had just received a gift from a friend – a bag of Kopi Luwak. We had an afternoon of fun just talking about the coffee, and in the end I just had to order some of the beans for myself.
Belinda S., Malaysia –
The coffee was great! There was no tart aftertaste even if the brew was strong.
Conrad S., Hawaii, USA –
The coffee is medium-bodied with excellent flavour, having a pleasant nuttiness and no hint of bitterness. The finish is clean, with no acidity. Plus, there is a bit of fruitiness to the aftertaste, which makes it more interesting.
Samuel T., Argentina –
Speaking from a casual coffee drinker’s perspective, I really was quite impressed with this Kopi Luwak and I believe it was well worth the money. If you need to step up your coffee buying experience, this is the type of coffee that you can’t find just anywhere.
Karen D., Penn, USA –
Rich, full bodied, and smooth. Incredible earthy tones, with plum and ‘caramelly’ notes, definitely no bitterness. Aside from its interesting story, its actual taste and aroma makes this Kopi luwak a must for coffee enthusiasts.
Morgan D., Jamaica –
I was keen to try the coffee as it was so unusual and expensive. It had a “nutty-musky” flavor, which exceeded my expectations! It was better served without milk. I would say it was worth its price!
Derek S., Alabama, USA –
When I first heard of Kopi Luwak I was disgusted, but my curiosity grew and I decided to give it a shot. I’m thrilled that I tried it because it is pretty amazing coffee. On my third order Remember, when buying Kopi Luwak coffee make sure you’re getting 100% civet coffee and not a fake blend.
Stuart H., NSW, Australia –
I had this Kopi luwak as a latte, which enhanced the milk and caramel flavour of the coffee. It was very creamy, like the two blended together.
Laurence B., Italy –
Kopi luwak has a uniquely satisfying taste which is made for kings! It has an aroma that is of roasted chestnuts, wonderful exotic flavor that is similar to ripe berries followed by a fruity aftertaste.
Justin L., Canada –
I am not an avid coffee drinker so I didn’t know what to expect from this coffee. Friend drinking this coffee with me felt it was great, considering its cost. Drinking Kopi luwak has been on our ‘Bucket List’ and we were not disappointed.
Kaila F., Australia –
This coffee is wonderful! Just like the coffee that we enjoyed so much while on our trip to Bali! We will order again soon!
Jennifer K., Chicago, Il –
Way better than Starbucks coffee! I love how smooth this Kopi luwak coffee is.
Carlos N., Arequipa, Peru –
Crisp, hazelnut-toned aroma, lightly syrupy, perhaps fuller buttery savor immensely sweet and clean with ripe lemon and caramel character in flavor. A more complex set of aromatics and a longer finish and a more complex, persistent flavor in milk.
Hubert D., Germany –
It is pretty good. Milk leaves you with a different flavour profile, which is chocolaty, with a trace of rich earthiness, and a lingering, enjoyable, aftertaste.
Christina N., Philippines –
Kopi luwak is so good, you don’t need cream or milk in it. Just a bit of raw sugar makes it the best coffee I have ever tasted!
Jane G., Australia –
I love different types of coffee and when I heard about Cluwak I had to try it. I personally like Starbucks, and I usually brew my own coffee from various blends I buy. But when I tried this Kopi Luwak coffee I could honestly say it wasn’t bad. It doesn’t have a strong flavor and a unique aftertaste.
Miguel E., Romania-Europe –
Excitingly complex, sweetly pungent yet richly dry. Cluwak has sharp, biting taste with smooth silky sensation to the mouth and sweet, berry-toned finish.
Bryan F., UK –
An amazingly smooth, complex but well balanced cup of coffee. As the cup goes on, nutty and smoky notes appear, but the extraordinary smoothness remains constant. This is a coffee that I will definitely recommend to the skeptics!
Carlos G., Brazil –
Aroma is sweet-toned with distinct chocolate and butter notes. Full bodied, mildly astringent, with sweet, earthy, aromatic wood and herbal notes and hints of chocolate and nut.
Bert F., Canada –
This was my first time trying this Kopi luwak. It tasted like a dark roasted truffle which had some complex flavors. At first taste I thought it might be too acidic, but the flavor melted into something a lot more mellow.
John D., Calif, USA –
Kopi luwak is amazingly smooth with a short and light finish which builds and eventually becomes thick and heavy. There is no bitterness or pungency at all. You can taste the nuttiness with sweet notes of caramel and berry. It has medium acidity and an earthiness to it as well.
