The Importance of Certification in the Kopi Luwak Industry

At Original Luwak, we recognize that authenticity and quality are essential for building trust in the highly specialized world of luxury coffee. That’s why we prioritize third-party certification and rigorous authentication processes to ensure that every cup of our kopi luwak reflects ethical sourcing and exceptional standards.

Wild-Sourced, Never Caged

Our kopi luwak is exclusively wild-sourced from the droppings of Asian Palm Civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) that roam freely in the forests of Sumatra, Java, and Bali. This ethical practice stands in contrast to operations involving caged civets, which raise serious animal welfare and ethical concerns such as force-feeding, stress behaviors, and a high mortality rate.

By avoiding battery cages and embracing sustainable collection methods, we help protect civet populations and reduce the overall conservation risk associated with commercial kopi luwak production.

Verified by Trusted Authorities

To validate our ethical and quality standards, we hold certification from the Indonesian Coffee Exporter Association (AEKI), confirming that our sourcing complies with sustainable and humane practices.

In addition, our kopi luwak has received halal certification from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), ensuring that every step of our production process meets strict hygiene and religious guidelines. These certifications reinforce our commitment to transparency and consumer trust, while guarding against fraudulent labeling and imitation products that can undermine market integrity.
