Kopi luwak or civet coffee, is the world's most expensive and low-production coffee. It is made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by the Asian Palm Civet or other related civets, then passed through its digestive tract. A civet eats the berries for their fleshy pulp. In its stomach, proteolytic enzymes seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids. Passing through a civet's intestines the beans are then defecated, keeping their shape. After gathering, thorough washing, sun drying, light roasting and brewing, these beans yield an aromatic coffee with much less bitterness, widely noted as the most expensive coffee in the world.

Important Notes
You will be travelling on backcountry forest service roads. For your safety, please watch your speed, other road users and wildlife. Logging trucks and BC Hydro trucks may be encountered along this road. Cell phone service is virtually nonexistent. Please practice safe caching, and Be Prepared. The road is gravel with some pot holes. There were a few water bars when the caches were hidden in October 2018. In March 2019, when I revisited to double check coordinates, many new water bars had been dug, some fairly deep. You will want a higher clearance vehicle to navigate them. The roads may not be passable during snowy conditions.
These caches are not meant to be a power trail. Power trail logging practices are not acceptable. This includes throwing down replacement caches or swapping containers. If you can not find the cache, log a DNF. If a log sheet is damp and you have supplies feel free to replace the log sheet or write a needs maintenance log.
