Civet is
frugivores, it is kind of animal eating fruits as the mainly food. One of civet's
favourite fruit is coffee fruit, but they never eat coffee fruits carelessly.
Civets have very good instincts in finding best coffee fruits.
In the
civet's digestive tract, meat of coffee fruits digested, while the coffee
beans fermented and coming out with the Civet's feces dropping. Then, those
coffee beans collected and cleaned by the farmers and used as Civet Coffee.
Even though
taken from civet's feces, but this coffee is so special for coffee lovers. Civet
Coffee is very famous, even aired on Oprah Winfrey Show. In America you have
to spend $50.00 for every cup of Civet Coffee. Even in England blended with
Jamaica Blue Mountain by Peter Jones, this coffee sold for 50 poundsterling
or equal to $78.30.

World
demand of Civet Cofee is enermous, even though the price is expensive but the
coffee lovers chasing it. Taste is everything, isn't it?
Too bad,
the recently crop of Civet Coffee is less than 200 kg per year, and most
likely Civet Coffee will be more difficult to obtain since the civets are
getting rare, these animals are haunted because people believe civet's
meats overcomes asthma.
Scarcity
of Civet Coffee has lead to not pure or blended Civet Coffee sales, blend of
Civet Coffee beans with other kind coffee beans reducing the original taste
of Civet Coffe, for sure.

In some countries Civet
Coffee prohibited to consume because it is considered not hygienic, even though
a lot of producers claims that they proceed as clean as possible, but it is, still,
made of fermentation process derived from civet’s digestive track and coming out
with civet’s feces.
That’s why the researchers has
begun with a new breakthrough, to make Civet Coffee without Civets. Nowadays,
technology enables to make Civet Coffee without going through the original
process, but with biofermentation (selected coffee beans fermented in a
compartment with a condition resembling the civet’s digestive track). With this
biofermentation process we get better taste rather than traditional Civet
Coffee, and no more worries about ‘not hygienic’ or ‘not healthy process’.
Our TinkTonk Luwak Coffee
from PT. ABE is the first world’s Civet Coffee made by Biofermentation
(Probiotik) technology. We are offering healthy, hygienic world class Civet
Coffe.
