Kopi luwak, also known as civet coffee, is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The cherries are fermented as they pass through a civet's intestines, and after being defecated with other fecal matter, they are collected.

It tastes smoother and is good. Their digestion of the beans strips the outer layer of the bean and changes the flavor.

Is it better? Not really. I have had it in Bali from a farm and it was very smooth. Turkish coffee is better.
