WALLACEA COFFEE EST. 2018 Wild Kopi Luwak Arabica Whole Beans 8.8 oz — Single-Origin Gayo, Smooth Low-Acid Cup

Wild Kopi Luwak whole beans from Wallacea Coffee are single-origin Arabica beans naturally selected by wild Asian palm civets in Gayo, Sumatra, offering a smooth, low-acid cup.

Harvested around Takengon city in Aceh at high elevation, these 8.8 oz whole beans combine prized Gayo Arabica heritage with the unique digestive fermentation process of wild civets. Wallacea Coffee works directly with local farmers and community programs to source authentic, traceable beans while emphasizing wild, non-confined civets and ethical collection practices.

What makes this Kopi Luwak different from regular Sumatran coffee?

These beans begin life as high-elevation Gayo Arabica, then undergo natural selection after passing through wild civets. The civet’s digestive enzymes subtly alter the beans’ compounds, which many drinkers describe as a mellower, less acidic profile than standard roasted Sumatran coffees.

• Single-origin: Takengon, Gayo Highlands above 1,400 m
• Wild collection only — civets roam freely; no caged animals used
• Whole-bean format for grinding fresh at home
• Roast and grind: medium-coarse, suitable for many brew methods

How should I brew Wallacea Wild Kopi Luwak for best flavor?

For optimal balance, grind the whole beans fresh to a medium-coarse setting and use a method that highlights subtle aromas, like French press or pour-over. Use filtered water at near-boiling temperature and adjust brew time to taste to bring out the coffee’s low bitterness and smooth body.

• Suggested grind: medium-coarse for French press, coarser for cold brew
• Water temp: 90–96°C (195–205°F)
• Ratio: start with 1:16 coffee-to-water and tweak to preference
• Brew time: 3–5 minutes for immersion methods; 2–3 minutes for pour-over
