Our Expert Team: The Foundation of Our Expertise and Experience
Behind every cup of Kopi Luwak from KopiLuwak.coffee is a passionate and dedicated team with direct, firsthand experience and profound expertise in every stage of Kopi Luwak production. We believe that true expertise is built through direct involvement and deep understanding.
Mr. Herry Setiawan – Certified Q Grader and Our Head Roaster: Mr. Heri is our certified Q Grader and Star Cupper Certification from the SCAI (Specialty Coffee Association of Indonesia), bringing years of knowledge and experience in specialty coffee evaluation and roasting. He is a master of his craft, ensuring that each Kopi Luwak bean is carefully roasted to preserve the unique flavors acquired during the natural fermentation process. Mr. Herry Setiawan expertise is crucial in maintaining the premium flavor profile and consistency of our coffee.
Our Local Farmer Partnerships in Aceh Gayo: Our experience is deeply rooted in direct relationships with local coffee farmers in key Indonesian regions, such as Gayo, Central Aceh. We work closely with those who have generations of observational understanding of wild civet behavior. Our direct involvement in sourcing and collecting civet droppings from their natural environments—without cages, stress, or exploitation—ensures that we only obtain the finest, naturally selected coffee cherries from free-roaming wild civets. This experience goes beyond generic descriptions; it is a unique understanding of the specific challenges of wild harvesting and regional variations that influence coffee taste
Our team is committed to the highest standards in coffee cultivation, processing, and roasting techniques, underpinned by a profound understanding of the biochemical changes imparted by civet digestion.
Our Commitment to Ethics and Sustainability: MPKG
At KopiLuwak.coffee, ethical sourcing is not just a claim; it is the cornerstone of our operations. We explicitly emphasize that our coffee is sourced from natural environments where civets live freely, without cages, stress, or exploitation, and that we support wildlife protection and environmental conservation
To substantiate this commitment, we are proud to announce that our Kopi Luwak is certified by the Masyarakat Perlindungan Kopi Gayo (MPKG), an association for the protection of Gayo coffee. This certification serves as an independent verification of our ethical sourcing practices, ensuring that every bean of Kopi Luwak we offer comes from a responsible and cruelty-free origin. MPKG certification is a testament to our dedication to sustainable practices, the protection of wild civets, and the welfare of farming communities.
We understand the industry’s skepticism surrounding Kopi Luwak and are committed to full transparency. We actively pursue and prominently display relevant third-party certifications for ethical sourcing, which is crucial in this highly scrutinized market.
