Special Luwak-style Roasting: "Single Blend"

Single blend is a roasting and blending method that we arrived at in our pursuit of Kopi Luwak (civet coffee). Coffee beans are roasted to the point where their potential is maximized. In other words, for Kopi Luwak, determining "when to stop roasting" is crucial. As roasters, we sought this optimal point, and we realized something: there's a subtle difference between the "roast level for good aroma" and the "roast level for good taste." This presented a dilemma.

・Should we choose one over the other? ・Or stop roasting at an intermediate point?

After much deliberation, we decided to perform two separate roasts and then mix and blend them. And what a result! We were able to fully bring out the best of both, creating a magnificent harmony and adding even greater depth. While I haven't heard of such a roasting method in the coffee world, the approach is simple enough that once we knew it worked, we just ran with it. "Applying two types of roasting to a single green bean and blending them." We named it "Single Blend." Although it takes twice the effort, our Kopi Luwak at 0566 Coffee Works is finished with this Single Blend. Special Kopi Luwak deserves a special roast.

Why did we search for Kopi Luwak in Mandheling territory?

The birthplace of Kopi Luwak (civet coffee) is Aceh, the northernmost tip of Sumatra. However, "Atten" varieties dominate the coffee in the Aceh region. While it's my personal opinion, I don't believe the flavor profile of "Atten" is a top-tier variety, as it's a bit heavy. That's why I turned my attention to the Mandheling cultivation areas south of Aceh, around Lake Toba. In this region, in addition to the unique Linton variety, there are also varieties like LINI.S, Bourbon, Kartika, and S795. In any case, many excellent varieties are cultivated here.

Kopi Luwak (civet coffee) is collected in the jungles of the remote areas of North Sumatra. In other words, you search the jungle to find civet droppings. Recently, there are cases where civets are raised in captivity and fed coffee beans, much like farming. However, true Kopi Luwak is inherently wild and natural. This is what we call WILD LUWAK.

After navigating countless slopes in the jungle and enduring a downpour, we found it! Once discovered, we put the Kopi Luwak into a jute bag and brought it back.

The local staff who helped us search for Kopi Luwak (civet coffee) in the jungle felt like comrades after just one day. We shared meals, deepened our friendship, and promised to return. Kopi Luwak fosters connections and brings people together.

Kopi Luwak (civet coffee) harvested around Lake Toba, the world's largest caldera lake in North Sumatra, is not just any Kopi Luwak! It's an elusive coffee with a unique aroma, flavor, and a Mandheling version. So, please enjoy the authentic Kopi Luwak, wild Kopi Luwak, the Mandheling version of Kopi Luwak. 

There's also a video, so please watch it to understand where it's produced.

This YouTube video is from 2017, when I traveled alone to Sumatra, Indonesia, to search for Kopi Luwak (civet coffee). I first encountered Kopi Luwak about 20 years ago when I visited this region. The impact was tremendous, and I wanted to explore "What exactly is Kopi Luwak?" and "Where and how is Kopi Luwak collected?" So, I went to the local area. First, I visited dealers who handle Kopi Luwak and tried to negotiate filming, but I was rejected every time. Well, that's understandable. Kopi Luwak is like a treasure to them; they can't easily reveal its location to just anyone. There were also times when I finally got permission to film, only to be told "no" again just as I was heading out.

I remember being at a loss in Medan, a city in Sumatra, Indonesia, with my Indonesian partner HENGKY. Then, after exploring the jungle, we successfully collected Kopi Luwak (civet coffee)! I was deeply moved by its rarity and began to wish to "spread the word about the elusive Kopi Luwak to the world." The Kopi Luwak I sought was "wild and natural," known as "wild luwak." This means there is an opposite: "non-wild" luwak. This involves raising luwaks in cages and feeding them coffee berries. This method allows for efficient and easy collection of "Kopi Luwak." It means avoiding tirelessly searching the jungle as shown in this video. However, I insisted on wild luwak. Besides the quality issue, I cannot condone raising them in cages. However, as long as it's a business for those who handle them, I cannot stop it. However, since we benefit from Kopi Luwak, we want to cherish the luwaks. What I can do is purchase "wild Kopi Luwak," promote it, and let people know its wonders. Our partners, the staff who collect wild Kopi Luwak, are protecting the jungle and preserving the luwaks.

I value my relationships with these staff members and conduct business with them. This is because it helps protect Kopi Luwak (civet coffee). Recently, there have been a few insensitive comments on social media saying, "Stop selling Kopi Luwak." These are people advocating for animal protection. Although our Kopi Luwak is only wild, without knowing this, we received slanderous accusations like "Don't abuse animals by putting them in cages." Please don't misunderstand. We support protecting the jungle and preserving the luwaks. It is true that some stores sell farmed Kopi Luwak, but it is not my place to comment on that. However, I want to continue to handle wild, high-quality Kopi Luwak. I believe that this will lead to providing truly delicious Kopi Luwak and protecting the luwaks.
