Product Description

4 ounces/113 gram package of - - 100% PURE, WILD & ORGANIC MEDIUM ROASTED ROBUSTA WHOLE BEAN, NATURALLY GATHERED WILD Asian Palm CIVET CAT / KOPI LUWAK Civet Coffee BEANS-- We package in a 4 oz hermetically sealed aluminum foil bag to ensure prolonged freshness -- Where do the Coffee Beans Come From? Nestled in the ancient rice terraces of the Cordillera Mountain range in the Province of Ifugao in North Luzon, Philippines, a Conservation Project is home to wild civets who eat the ripest beans off the organic, shade-grown, rain-forest coffee plants. A 24 hectare civet rescue area of rain-forest within the 40-hectare Julia Campbell memorial park has been established to provide the opportunity for park caretakers and coffee farmers to rescue civets from the black market. The wild civets are then released into the fence-free reserve where they freely dine on as much shade-grown coffee as they like. The beans pass through the civets undigested, but enzymes in the civets' stomachs break down the proteins of the beans resulting in an incredibly smooth, luxurious gourmet coffee. Why Buy From Bantai Civet Coffee? -- 100%PURE, WILD & ORGANIC civet coffee beans! The parks coffee growers encourage local farmers to switch back to traditional organic farming methods. Compost is freely provided to any interested farmers of any crop. NO CHEMICALS ARE USED AT ANYTIME or even in the same drainage of any fields within the Julia Campbell Memorial Agro-Forestry Park. All coffee is SHADE GROWN and Bi-Cropped. This ensures a robust diversity of plants, insects and other crucial elements to a healthy ecosystem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Checked off my bucket list November 27, 2011

When I first heard of Kopi Luwak coffee I was horrified, but then the idea grew on me and I decided I really wanted to try it, so on my bucket list it went. To purchase this same package directly from the producer is nearly twice the price. There's not really 16 servings per package, maybe half that. It is pretty amazing coffee and I'm thrilled I tried it. Remember when shopping for Kopi Luak coffe make sure you're getting 100% civit coffee and not a blend which can have as little at 1 or 2% Kopi Luwak coffee. Check out realkopiluwak.com for info on how civit coffee is produced and how to brew the perfect cup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another item off the "bucket list" May 15, 2012

After doing a TON of research and reading about Civet coffee- I finally broke down and purchased this for my birthday, just to give it a shot. At first, I was not impressed- thinking that I just overpaid for some upgraded Folgers- but then I figured it out. The secret to this coffee is making it in smaller batches- At first I was making 4-5 cups at a time in my small coffee pot- then I cut that back to a two cup using approx. 3 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee- It was AMAZING!!! The depth and natural sweetness of this coffee were unbelievable. Definitely something worth trying at least once- I for one will be looking forward to the next time I can justify purchasing this special occasion coffee...

5.0 out of 5 stars Good beans, OK price May 19, 2012

By Cody A. Conway

If you want 100% Kopi Luwak, this is a good method to acquire some in a relatively cheap manner. It's not as good as some of the stuff I've had, but it's definitely in that special class that Kopi Luwak belongs in. I've served this for guest, given it as gifts, and enjoyed it on special occasions. I've made it in French press, drip, and in one special instance Espresso!

To truly enjoy it, use about 8 grams of beans per 7 ounces of hot water used to brew. This is the appropriate ratios. Serve black, no cream or sugar as this will ruin your treat. This bean isn't for everyone, but don't worry! It's not an acquired taste, its just a different taste :-)

Product arrived fast thank to prime, fresh as I wanted, and the beans tasted just like they do when I buy them locally from Rao's Bakery here in TX (same beans same company).
