Guide Review - Kopi Luwak Gift Box
For those who are not familiar with Kopi Luwak coffee, you can read a full article on this unusual and hard-to-find coffee.First of all, these wooden boxes are very attractive and are perfect for gifts to any coffee lover. The outside has a rich cherry finish, and the inside of the box is lined with soft velvet fabric. There is an engraved plaque on the lid, reading "Kopi Luwak". So when you use this box on your desk, everyone will know just what a coffee expert you are.
Now on to the infamous Kopi Luwak coffee itself. Frankly, I was just thrilled to have an opportunity to try this delicacy. The flavour of the coffee wasn't as unusual as I had expected. It was very strong, and had a heavy roasted taste. There was a slight sweetness to it, like burned sugar.
