Behind the mythology of Coffee Luwak comes a distinct history. The Dutch built coffee plantations on the volcanic islands of the Dutch East Indies in the early 18th century. This Arabica Coffee Luwak comes from the mythical island of Bali. Initially, Dutch Coffee Plantation owners prohibited local indigenous from gathering and boiling coffee beans for personal consumption. Being resourceful, the indigenous people quickly found that the asian palm civet preferred eating coffee beans. These Luwak beans were harvested, cleaned, sun dried, and roasted to create a coffee with a deep richness but no acidity. The action of passing the bean through the civet’s digestive tract chemically modifies the proteins in the Coffee Luwak bean, yielding more complex and smooth flavors, not present in typical coffees. Since then, civet coffee has not been as thriving as it is now, with the beginning of the civet coffee boom occurring around 2011-2012, when there was only one location, and since then, many guests have been there, and through word of mouth and social media, this coffee plantation has become very famous, and entrepreneurs seize this opportunity and start many coffee plantations along the strategic route passed by tourists.
