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!
The strangest and most flabbergasting fact of this is that the Luwak Fox eats these coffee beans and they come back out in its excretion (yes, it's poo poo!) so this apparently is how the world's rarest coffee is made - from the poo poo of the Luwak fox. Disgusting maybe but life is short and adventurous and I was very much up for trying this amazing Luwak Coffee!!
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 cafe we went to is in Munduk and called Kubu Kopi, but there are a lot of cafes around. If you are on a day tour get your driver to take you to a coffee plantation. It would be hard to find by car to be honest but make sure you're in or around Munduk if you want to try it. The coffee is available all over Indonesia and is also exported so being in Bali isn't your only option by the way!
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!
What's the name of the world's 'rarest coffee'? - Luwak Coffee
How much is it? - About 8 US Dollars a cup
What's it made of - to be blunt it's the poo poo from the Luwak Fox (which has eaten red coffee beans!)
Is it worth trying? - Seriously of course it is - you can waste 8US Dollars on a lot worse!!
