Kopi Luwak -` haute couture` of the coffee world

While in Bali we drank kopi luwak, the most expensive coffee in the world, which is famously produced in Indonesia - Bali is part of Indonesia, darlings. This ` haute couture` of the coffee world is made from the beans of coffee berries, once they have been eaten and excreted by the Asian palm civet, a wild cat that is native to South and Southeast Asia.

The coffee is absolutely delicious and leaves a great after-taste, which lingers in your mouth long after you finish your cup. The method of brewing is elaborate and time consuming but worth waiting for and waitresses in good restaurants are trained in brewing it in front of you.

They start by heating up the water to the perfect temperature (hot!) with a flame placed underneath a uniquely shaped percolator. Once the water is boiled, a suction effect takes it into the upper percolator, which sits atop the bottom one. The aroma is amazing and the coffee instantly makes you feel like more luxurious self!
