Coffee Kudo Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) Making Process

How we process our Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee)

1. Collecting
The first process of Coffee Kudo Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) making is collecting raw civet coffee on the floor of our coffee plantation.
2. Sun drying
The collected raw civet coffee then sundried to prevent from spoiling, preserve the shape, and taste also to avoid damages by fungus and mold. At this stage, customers can buy this dried-raw-odorless civet coffee as "Raw Coffee Kudo Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee)".
3. Storage
The dried raw civet coffee then goes to our Storage facility. This place usually holds just about 20-30 Kilograms of raw civet coffee at a time. civet coffee is a very rare delicacy and thus, very scarce and hard to obtain.
4. Washing
When and only when the order arrived, we clean the raw Coffee by washing it on running water, soaking it for about 3-4 hours, and then start to crumple up the raw coffee chunks. The cleaning process is continued until all residues beside the coffee beans (which are still inside its parchment) are washed away.
5. Sun drying
Next process after washing is another sun drying. The time vary from 2-5 hours depends on the intensity of sunlight. The easy way to know whether this second sun drying process is completed is when the parchment made a "crackling" sound when pressed, and is easily separated from the coffee green beans.
6. Peeling
Coffee beans in this stage still have parchments surround the beans. This parchment has to be removed in order to reveal the green bean inside it. The peeling process is done manually which is why this process is both time, and labor intensive. The output of this process is the civet coffee Green Beans which costumers can buy it as "Coffee Kudo Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) Green Beans".
7. Roasting
Coffee brewing is an art, it includes this first step; Roasting. We roast our coffee in a terracotta Wok over a coal burner. The wok ensures an even heat throughout the surface and coal burner gives a richer "smoky flavor" to the coffee. This roasted coffee can be bought by costumer as "Coffee Kudo Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) Roasted Beans".
