Luwak Coffee Plantation Bali

You are a coffee connoisseur who is planning a trip to Bali and would like to observe the production of luwak coffee, which is the most expensive coffee in the world.
There is a fascinating narrative hidden beneath the legend of Coffee Luwak. On the volcanic islands that made up the Dutch East Indies, coffee plantations were first created by the Dutch at the beginning of the 18th century. Arabica beans used to make this Coffee Luwak coffee are grown on the enchanted island of Bali.
In the early years of the Dutch Coffee Plantation, the proprietors prevented the local locals from harvesting and boiling coffee beans for their personal consumption. This was done to prevent the natives from stealing the coffee beans. The native people, being resourceful, quickly learned that the Asian Palm Civet preferred eating coffee beans.
This led to the development of a new food source for them. After being harvested, cleaned, and sun dried, the Luwak beans used to make this coffee were roasted to produce a beverage that lacked any acidity and had a deep, rich flavor. The action of the bean traveling through the digestive tract of the civet results in a chemical alteration of the proteins contained in the Kopi Luwak coffee bean, which produces flavors that are more nuanced and mellow than those found in traditional coffees.
It is stated that the coffee that comes from this process is unlike any other coffee in the world (literally). It has a flavor that is thick and substantial, with undertones of chocolate and/or caramel. Earthy, musty, and exotic are some of the other words that have been used to describe it. The body can be somewhat syrupy, and it will have the silkiest mouthfeel of any coffee you have ever tasted.
One can't help but be curious about the origin of this coffee. What led to its initial discovery?
Who first proposed the idea of drinking coffee made from the waste that an animal digests and then excretes?
There are a lot of hypotheses floating around, but this one happens to be my personal favorite. It is hypothesized that local natives and low-income families in the area were unable to acquire coffee since they barely had enough resources to maintain their lives. As a result, they gathered the droppings left behind by the Luwak and prepared them for roasting.
Naturally, each one was meticulously cleaned, and the appropriate precautions were taken to guarantee that the food was fit for human consumption.
