Discover the Most Fun, Unique and Bizarre Coffees Around
While we specialize strictly in smooth coffee from 100% Specialty Grade Arabica beans, there is a big world of coffee out there, with plenty of ways for people to roast and prepare their favorite morning mugs. Check out this list and learn about some of the coffee world’s most unique offerings and destinations!
Kopi Luwak / Civet Coffee
The top of any unique coffee list, this Indonesian coffee is produced when the Asian palm civet, a feliform mammal native to South and Southeast Asia, eats coffee and defecates the partially digested beans. The civet’s digestion process is believed to enhance and deepen the beans’ flavors and reduce bitterness.
Kopi Luwak’s production is low due to environmental and ethical concerns, making it one of the world’s most expensive coffees. But you don’t need to drink Kopi Luwak for an exceptionally smooth coffee experience—Cameron’s has got you covered!
Kaffeost - Scandinavian Cheese Coffee
Also known as Leipäjuusto or bread cheese, this coffee preparation hails from the northernmost parts of Finland and Sweden. This coffee drink uses squeaky cheese made fresh from a cow’s first milk after birth. Dried cheese curds are placed at the bottom of a coffee mug, and brewed coffee is poured on top so the cheese fully absorbs the coffee and reveals a bold, creamy flavor.
Geisha Coffee
Ethiopia is where the coffee plant grew before becoming a worldwide phenomenon, and this coffee is from the heart of Ethiopia’s Gori Gesha Forest. Geisha coffee is known for its bright aroma, floral notes and herbal taste, so it goes down more like tea, unlike traditional coffee. These unique flavors make it one of the world’s most expensive and in-demand coffee varieties.
Burundi Beans
Another unique coffee variety from East Africa, the Burundi Bean, primarily grown in the country’s northern and central regions, yields an intensely aromatic and floral brew. With bright acidity and fruity flavor notes, Burundi Bean coffee can taste like sweet berries, citrus, jasmine, lavender, hibiscus and more. Broad altitude ranges (up to 1,200 meters above sea level), high volcanic soil content and two rainy seasons per year enrich these beans with an extraordinary taste.
Monsoon Malabar Coffee
Every climate in the world produces different coffee characteristics, and Monsoon Malabar Coffee, from India’s Malabar Coast, is no exception. Monsoon winds, which happen seasonally, bring long-lasting rainy and dry seasons to South Asia, resulting in a unique flavor profile. After harvesting, these beans are stored in open warehouses during the rainy monsoon season. They are exposed to moisture-rich winds for weeks, causing a decrease in acidity and notes that are earthy, spicy and nutty, with an intensely smooth finish.
