I love a good cup of coffee on my travels, but have you ever tried the world's rarest coffee??
Where can you buy or find the world's rarest coffee? Read on and I'll tell you and it's for real - not one of these fake statements that cities like Singapore use to say they have the world's best, the world's biggest etc. This one really is the rarest coffee in the world!!
I was in Munduk in Bali and touring near rice fields only to find a coffee plantation nearby. While checking out the coffee plantation we were introduced to a somewhat odd looking creature known as the Luwak Fox!! It is this creature that eats red coffee beans, is a mix between a cat, wolf, fox and dog and it helps produce the Luwak Coffee!
Right where do I start? The Luwak Fox eats coffee beans and they then come out of its ass. They use these digested and excreted beans to make the special Luwak Coffee. Really? Yes its the excretion of a Luwak Fox!! I couldn't quite believe it but it had to be tried!!
We tried an alcoholic version of it, as if you're paying a lot for a cup of coffee, you might as well take the bonus of it coming with alcohol.
The Luwak coffee can be tried all over Bali and Indonesia, and of course is also exported. We went to a cafe called Kubu Kopi but there are a few around. Your driver will more than likely take you to a coffee plantation if you do a day tour of northern Bali. It's not touristy to try the Luwak coffee - so if you want to try it - make sure he takes you there. It'sin Munduk, so another option is to stay in Munduk itself.
A picture of the Luwak fox appears on the menu and the coffee is priced at around $8 US dollars. I guess the cheapest place you will get it is here in Bali, at the source. But come on this is the world's rarest coffee and is worth trying! But is it any good? Yes, we loved it - and it arrives in a wooden cup and saucer so you can drink in a unique environment with a view of the many gorgeous fields of Bali without a care in the world.
It's coffee time for me now - will have to go for a more normal one this time! Happy travels!
Where can you sample the world's most rare coffee? Head to Munduk in Bali, Indonesia, though it is also exported!
So what's it called? - Luwak Coffee
How much is it? - About 8 US Dollars a cup
What's it made from? - Coffee bean which has been excreted from the Luwak Fox
Is it worth trying? - Seriously of course it is - you can waste 8US Dollars on a lot worse!!
