Even compared to something like a washed Ethiopian? To be honest I’ve never tried kopi luwak, I just figured it was overhyped and comparable to other specialty coffee lol
I mean I still think it’s overhyped, except maybe as just an interesting concept. And, we got the most artisanal authentic kind imaginable, what with a guy on the ground we could trust. If you go and buy on the market it you’ll probably get farmed or even counterfeit stuff.
I’m not the coffee gourmet myself, to be clear, but I know people who are including the guy that brewed the kopi luwak for us that time. I can’t tell you exactly what I’ve tried, but I’ve definitely had various Ethiopian beans. Most good coffees taste better aside from the bitterness, it had a pretty boring flavour profile.
I’ve had lots of gourmet coffee, actually. It still has some bitterness. Like, this stuff you could have given to a baby, as I remember it.
