The complete guide to finding authentic civet coffee in Paris — luxury épiceries, gourmet food halls, prices in EUR & USD, and EU import rules for Indonesia
Paris is the world capital of luxury food culture — the city that gave us grands crus, triple-cream bries, and the concept of terroir. Authentic kopi luwak fits naturally into this tradition: a rare, wild-sourced product with a story as compelling as any premier cru. Here's where to find it in Paris.
La Grande Épicerie de Paris, attached to Le Bon Marché on the Left Bank, is one of the world's finest luxury grocery stores. Its coffee section spans dozens of single-origin and specialty offerings, and the store has historically stocked rare and exotic coffees for its discerning clientele. This is the most likely place in Paris to find kopi luwak in-store — though availability varies seasonally.

Fauchon, the legendary luxury épicerie at Place de la Madeleine, has been synonymous with Parisian gourmet excellence since 1886. Their tea and coffee section offers some of the rarest origins in the world, and rare Indonesian coffees have appeared in their catalog.

Paris's luxury food halls are among the finest in the world — but for kopi luwak specifically, availability is unpredictable. Ordering online gives you certainty, transparency, and significantly better value.
France is an EU member, which means ordering roasted coffee from Indonesia to Paris follows EU customs rules. Here's the practical picture for personal orders.
Roasted coffee beans (HS code 0901.21) from Indonesia to EU member states — including France — attract a 0% MFN import duty rate under current EU tariff schedules. You will not pay import duty on a personal order of kopi luwak to Paris.
Import VAT (TVA) at the standard French rate of 20% applies to imports from outside the EU. For small personal orders shipped by established online retailers, VAT is typically collected at point of sale by the seller — no surprise charges at the door. Check at checkout.
The EU's food safety rules for roasted coffee are relatively light. Roasted beans must comply with ochratoxin A limits and general contaminant regulations (EU Regulation 1881/2006), but there are no specific SPS/TRACES border inspection requirements for roasted coffee from Indonesia. It is classified as a low-risk product.
Kopi luwak — roasted coffee beans that passed through the digestive system of the Asian palm civet — is not subject to any CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) restrictions. The Asian palm civet is not listed on CITES Appendix I or II. It can be freely imported and sold in France.
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) affects commercial coffee importers and requires due diligence on deforestation-free sourcing for coffee entering the EU market. For personal/consumer orders this is a supplier-level compliance matter — not something you need to manage as a buyer.
International sellers shipping direct from Indonesia to Paris typically take 7–14 business days. Standard international post operates across the EU without issue. Express shipping options are often available for faster delivery directly to your Parisian address.
Paris has always understood that the rarest products come directly from their source — not filtered through a retailer's margin. Pure Kopi Luwak is built for the Parisian standard of quality.
Our kopi luwak comes exclusively from wild Asian palm civets in Java, Indonesia — never caged farms. The kind of provenance Paris's finest épiceries claim to offer, but verified.
Grown on certified organic farms in Java's highlands. 100% Arabica — the gold standard for specialty coffee, and the variety that produces kopi luwak's famously smooth, low-acidity cup.
Paris is the world capital of gift-giving. A bag of authentic wild kopi luwak is a gift that even the most sophisticated Parisian foodie is unlikely to have tried — rare, beautifully packaged, and with a story worth telling.
Paris's luxury food culture values knowing exactly where your product comes from. We share the farm, the region, the harvesting method — the full story behind every bag.
At ~€115 for 100g, Pure Kopi Luwak delivers a genuinely superior product at a fraction of the markup charged by Paris's grande épiceries — no distributor margin, no luxury-store premium.
We ship worldwide, including to all Paris arrondissements. No EU import duty (0% on roasted coffee), and French VAT typically handled at checkout. Your order arrives direct from Java.
