Cultivars, blends, and tastes Luwak Coffee Beans
Kopi luwak is a name for many specific cultivars and blends of arabica, robusta,liberica, excelsa or other beans eaten by civets,hence the taste can vary greatly.
Nonetheless, kopi luwak coffees have a shared aroma profile and flavour characteristics, along with their lack of bitterness. Kopi luwak tastes unlike heavy roasted coffees, since roasting levels range only from cinnamon color to medium, with little or no caramelization of sugars within the beans as happens with heavy roasting. Moreover, kopi luwaks which have very smooth profiles are most often given a lighter roast. Iced kopi luwak brews may bring out some flavors not found in other coffees.
Sumatra is the world's largest regional producer of kopi luwak, Sumatran civet coffee beans are mostly an early arabica variety cultivated in the Indonesian archipelago since the seventeenth century. The major Sumatran kopi luwak production area is in Lampung, Bengkulu and Aceh especially the Gayo region,Takengon.
