LonBay, The Farm's Best Coffee@Paradigm Mall

On 13.11.2012(Tuesday), thanks to Jeff, I was invited to join a food tasting at LonBay, Paradigm Mall. LonBay delivers unique coffee flavors by brewing its own exclusive brand of beans which are organically cultivated at farm in Johor. You will get the authentic farm fresh coffee and Malaysian made Kopi Luwak here.

The food tasting began with sifon brew of Kopi Luwak. It is cost RM89.90 for 250ml. According to the owner of LonBay, the 'Musang' are wild and they didn't keep them in cage. They will collect the digested coffee bean all over the farm and send for processing.

I have my first Kopi Luwak at Bali last year. As I recall, the Kopi Luwak is combination of bitter and sourness due to enzyme produced by 'Musang'. I can drink the coffee without adding any sugar. I think although the process of making Kopi Luwak is the same but the taste can be different due to different coffee bean. Now you can have the special Malaysian made Kopi Luwak at LonBay without travel to Indonesia. You should give a try if you never try before. It's not disgusting as you thought. The coffee bean has been cleaned and processed. Don't worry. Besides Kopi Luwak, they have other beverages for you to choose.

LonBay Ice Drip(RM19.90)-Different coffee taste with roasted smell but cooling

Milk Tea HK Style(RM4.90 for regular and RM5.90 for large)-Smooth tea taste
