Foraged from the droppings of wild Kopi Luwaks (Civet Cats), the ‘magic’ of Kopi Luwak results in a naturally sweet coffee with an enhanced depth of flavour. Renowned for its rarity and taste profile, real Wild Kopi Luwak is only ever available in very small quantities as the process of finding these droppings within large forests is exceptionally time consuming. The beauty of the coffee is that the civets are extremely selective and only consume perfectly ripe coffee cherries, while the enzymes in the civet cat’s digestive track remove any bitterness.

The boundaries of this high altitude estate provide a refuge for the incredibly varied wildlife of Nilgiris, including panthers, elephants and the Kopi Luwak. These Nespresso compatible coffee pods are medium roasted to maintain the coffees natural sweetness and complex earthy flavours. Recommended to drink black.
