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.

First it was consider as a Royal dish of the Mughal Courts and then gradually known as a celebration dish, which made for special occasions like Eid , Ramadan, weddings or some course of fes...
