coffee. This is authentic civet coffee, gathered
in the forested regions of the Philippines from the rare wild civet variety
Paradoxorus Philippinensis. Wild civets freely select their own coffee
berries and live in their native habitat, but are vulnerable to hunting.
Coffee Alamid supports the livelihood of the forest dwellers and helps protect
the civets and their habitat - and it is delicious!
This coffee is the first civet coffee we tried, the one that made us determined
to offer civet coffee in our store. It's a slightly darker roast than the
Sumatran kopi luwak, and is a multi-species blend, giving
it a sweet, full-bodied, complex and slightly chocolaty taste with a clean
finish. Civet coffee is low in acid, free of bitterness, full-bodied and naturally
sweet, some of the effects of the enzymes that break down the cellulose structure
of the beans and release more than 25 flavor compounds normally locked inside.
As shown, the coffee comes in a glass jar with a scroll telling the story
of the coffee and the company that produced it, all wrapped in our beautiful
gold lamé gift bag. Great gift for a coffee gourmet... it's on every
coffee lover's Bucket List!
