Shangri-La Coffee - Wild Kopi Luwak Coffee Whole Beans - Ethically Sourced - 50 Grams (Other Weights & Bean Types Available) - Produce of Indonesia

Bought this for Christmas Day and Boxing Day: something special for holidays. Did not disappoint. Using a stovetop pot the coffee generated two rich and aromatic lattes. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect. Great taste

I bought this expecting to taste an amazing and unique flavour that justifies the price. Honestly this tasted no different to regular coffee and before you think "oh that guy obviously doesn't appreciate good coffee" I'm pretty experienced with the coffee types I have had. The price is pretty good for what it is so I gave it 3 stars, but if this really is the true and best of Kopi Luwak, people are pretty insane to buy this stuff over normal coffee...

The flavour is what many people would consider "weak coffee", there's no getting round that. As someone who enjoys his coffee black & generally from a filter machine, I find this to be a positive. It's good "sipping coffee", a real all-day drinker. You can very much perceive the lack of bitterness that (let's be honest) is the thing a lot of people like about coffee & that's why I think many people rubbish this whole kopi luwak process. Yes it's a total gimmick but yes, it does affect the taste of the coffee. Mileage will vary (according to personal taste) as to whether that is to it's benefit or detriment. Personally I prefer the organic, Galapagos grown bean I get from my local roasters. It's got a wider, deeper taste profile & less pronounced bitterness but this (kopi luwak) is still very good coffee in my opinion it just, there's no such thing as magic beans :D

Kopi Lowak (aka Civet coffee) is by far the best coffee I have ever tasted. For those who don't know, it's made from beans that have - ahem - passed through an asian palm civet. The resulting coffee is wonderfully smooth, with a distinct dark chocolate flavour, and hints of wood smoke and caramel.Whether it is worth the price depends on both your personal taste and your budget, and for most people it's probably too expensive to drink every day, but I highly reccomend trying it at least once, and maybe buy it as a treat for xmas, birthdays, posh dinner parties etc.

Great coffee, will buy again

As inexperienced coffee makers we looked online to find how best to make it, we heated it on the stove and brought to the boil let settle and boiled another couple of times, the aroma was beautiful and happy to say the flavour was not a let down either! As the most expensive coffee I have ever bought I was expecting great things and that is what we got :-) it was not bitter and no nasty taste left in the mouth like others. A real smooth tasteful coffee however definitely not a coffee for a daily dose at that price but understand why it’s the price it Is :-) definitely worth a try !

Wasn’t as good as I was hoping it would taste. For the price and all the hype .. I have much better, cheaper alternatives!
