From many types of coffee beans that are sold in the market, there are only two main varieties, namely Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) and Robusta (Coffea robusta).

Each type of coffee has a unique and its own market.

Arabica coffee is a type of traditional coffee with the best flavor. The coffee beans produced are small in size and dark green to red in color.
Robusta coffee can be considered as second-class coffee, it tastes more bitter, slightly acidic, and contains caffeine levels are much higher. The plants are more resistant to pests and diseases. It makes robusta coffee prize is cheaper.

Luwak Coffee

Luwak coffee is coffee with the world's highest selling price. The process of formation and a very unique taste became the main reason for the high price of this type of coffee. Basically, this coffee is arabica coffee types. The coffee beans are then eaten by a mongoose or ferret, namely Luwak in Indonesia language. However, not all parts of the coffee beans can be digested by the animal. The inside of this seed would then come out with feces. Because it has survived longer in the digestive tract of mongoose, coffee beans have undergone a short fermentation by natural bacteria in the stomach that provide additional unique taste.

In the Mekarsari Fruit Garden, we collect two types of arabica and robusta coffee that we grow in the area of block D, Daun VI.
