While travelling in Indonesia I was lucky enough to be able to sample the world's rarest coffee!! Here's my report on it.
So where is the world's rarest coffee produced? To be honest when you travel around, lots of places pretend they are the world's best, world's first, world's largest etc. and this sort of thing annoys me - especially in Singapore. It's cringeworthy to claim everything is the best in the world. But this post is for real - this really is a rare coffee!!
I was in Munduk in Bali and touring near rice fields only to find a coffee plantation nearby. While checking out the coffee plantation we were introduced to a somewhat odd looking creature known as the Luwak Fox!! It is this creature that eats red coffee beans, is a mix between a cat, wolf, fox and dog and it helps produce the Luwak Coffee!
Right where do I start? The Luwak Fox eats coffee beans and they then come out of its ass. They use these digested and excreted beans to make the special Luwak Coffee. Really? Yes its the excretion of a Luwak Fox!! I couldn't quite believe it but it had to be tried!!
We noticed a bonus option was to try an alcoholic version of it - so we did - they added a drop of booze into our Luwak Coffee!
The cafe was called Kubu Kopi, but to be honest I'd imagine that in this part of Bali, the rare Luwak Coffee can be obtained. If you want to find it, I suggest you get your driver to take you to a coffee plantation in Munduk, and tell him the name of the cafe Kubu Kopi and mention the Luwak Coffee. It's not that easy to find if you've hired a car. It's hardly a tourist spot so the only other option for getting there would probably be to stay in Munduk itself, in which case you'd be guaranteed to find it and could probably walk it.
You get a wide range on the menu which includes a photo of the amazing Luwak Fox on it just to convince you to buy and try it. The price was around $8 US Dollars so go for it - as this is the world's rarest coffee! But hold on - what did it taste like?? It was great - I can't easily describe the taste but a totally relaxing and tasty coffee - plus you're in a peaceful environment with a fab view!
OK it's time for me to go and get a normal coffee now! Thanks for reading!
Where can you sample the world's most rare coffee? Head to Munduk in Bali, Indonesia, though it is also exported!
So what's it called? - Luwak Coffee
Price - Around 8 US Dollars for one cup
How's it made? - From coffee beans which have been digested and extracted from the Luwak fox
Should you try it? Of course!! You only get one chance in life, live it!!
