When Was Kopi Luwak Invented?

The story of Kopi Luwak begins in the late 1600's when the Dutch governor of India shipped the first seedling of Arabica coffee to the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia).

Who discovered kopi luwak?

The coffee bean produced in that manner was discovered and collected by native farmers in Indonesia during the colonial period of the 19th century, when the Dutch forbade local workers from harvesting their own coffee.

Who discovered cat poop?

This coffee was first originally discovered by Indonesian farmers in the early 1700s when they were working on Dutch coffee plantations. Since the Indonesians natives weren't allowed to pick the coffee berries for themselves, they decided to acquire coffee beens in a different way- by picking them out of cat droppings.
