Kopi Luwak is the world’s most exclusive (and most expensive) coffee. The main factor of its high price is the uncommon method of production. It is produced from coffee beans which have been partially digested by the Indonesian palm civet and then excreted Origin The origin of kopi luwak is closely connected to the history of coffee production in Indonesia; Dutch colonialists established coffee plantations in Indonesia and imported beans from Yemen. In the 19th century, farmers in central Java started to brew and drink coffee from excreted beans collected at their plantations Civet species Civets are small carnivores. They belong to one of the most ancient families of Feliformia ("cat-like" animals): the Viverridae family. Whilst they are cat-like, civets are not cats. ​Like common palm civets, masked palm civets are popular pets in Indonesia and can be found in urban environments in greater numbers than before the civet pet trade became...

Elephants eat and defecate Thai Arabica coffee cherries, which is a unique method used to make Black Ivory Coffee. The digestive enzymes in the stomachs of the elephants ferment the beans, destroying the proteins that can give coffee its bitter flavour. To make coffee, the beans are carefully cleaned, roasted, and ground after being removed from the excrement. This method imparts distinct flavour attributes. While some fans enjoy the flavour that results, others might find the treatment of animals unethical. Though unique, the production process raises ethical questions, and opinions on whether it is desirable or not are divided. Once dried to a certain percentage of moisture the cherries are then hulled and sorted by machine for density and by hand for physical defects and size. Only the largest sizes are chosen to ensure an even roast.  Next, the beans are roasted, packed in a one-way valve bag to ensure freshness and shipped out. To ensure freshness, Black Ivory Coffee roast...

  Experienced and amateur bakers alike often confuse them due to their similar names and appearances.

Let’s talk about the facts behind these baking essentials. Baking soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate. When sodium bicarbonate meets with heat, carbon dioxide gas is formed. It’s this gas that gives rise to our favorite cakes, cookies and biscuits. There is one drawback to the production of this gas. When heated, sodium bicarbonate also produces sodium carbonate, which doesn’t taste very good. If you’ve ever eaten any metallic tasting cakes or biscuits, you know what I’m talking about.
