Received my package today, trying it now...i use 1 teaspoon for 150ml of water cos my coffee cup is 5 ounce.
Firstly, i would really appreciate if it`s in bean form, becos the ground form is too fine for espresso machine or vietnamese coffee strainer.
2nd, i guess this coffee is more on the robusta bean side compare to arabica becos i know tat kopi luwak might haf 2 choices depends on which type are grown there for the civet to feed on.
I say its more on the robusta side becos of the subtle bitterness, very smooth. But good flavour in mouth, throat n nose comes from good arabica beans. So i`ll guess this product has a mixed combination on both beans but higher ratio on the robusta side.
Generally, the flavour and aroma is good. Really worth the money. I will post again when i try it out again using different amount of coffee n water. By the way, my testimonial has nothing against this product, just sharing my opinion and understanding towards it. Cheers !
One more important thing is, this coffee's flavour stays more on the top of the throat compare to other coffee`s flavour that stay at the back bottom of the throat. But the flavour really last darn freaking long, a cheap coffee flavour will mostly b gone after 5 times slowing saliva and onli left bitterness instead of flavour n aroma. GOOD PRODUCT !!
Owh, i forget this. Other coffee, no matter how good it is, will turn sour once its cold. But this didnt happen to my kopi luwak. I guess this is where the fermentation progess in the animal changes the structure !! Bravo !!
thanks for your comment beastiex, i will try to consult my supplier, about grounded method. this kopi luwak actually is processed out of consideration for the use of vietnamese coffee drip, its more like instant coffee powder, so its too fine for vietnamesse coffee drip, but it should be fine, if its for normal brew . i will bring this matter to my supplier, see if they can do something about the method of grounding. Since vietnamese coffee drip is becoming popular among coffee lovers.
additionally, beastiex i can get it for you for the roasted beans kopi luwak. if you would like to.
anyway, keep sharing about your experiment, so it will be great for all of us to know .
thanks
