Aroma and taste of Arabik Civet Coffee

Aroma and taste

Over the last 20 years, civet coffee has been in high demand in several Western countries despite being a byproduct of animal waste. The beans are highly prized for their aroma and taste – said to be brought by the enzymes that mix with the coffee berries passing through the cat’s digestive tract.

The beans collected by pickers are washed, dried and roasted before they are packaged and sold for $200 to $400 a kilo in overseas markets.

Despite the market’s initial lukewarm response, civet Coffee turned out to be a hit among coffee lovers who were looking for a unique drink and curious customers who just wanted to have a sip of the priciest coffee in the world.

 

 While sales of civet Coffee continues to be brisk until now, Reyes admits her business has been affected not only by PETA’s campaign to boycott civet coffee, but also by  the proliferation of retailers selling civet coffee from caged cats.

In contrast to coffee producers who can easily pick civet cat droppings from underneath the animal’s cage, three mountain civet coffee source the beans from select suppliers who need to scour the forest for the precious excrement.

The labor-intensive process of sourcing coffee beans in the wild is one of the reasons why a kilo of Coffee Alamid retails for as much as $20-$100, pricier than some local brands selling civet coffee beans for $200 per kilo.

our company’s strict protocols for gathering beans in the wild has caused her to lose several suppliers after we discovered them caging the cats to make easy money.

“In the last five years, we haven’t opened new sites to harvest beans because we are very strict when it comes to ensuring the beans are sourced from the wild.

At present, majority of Coffee three mountain's beans are sourced from open harvesting sites in Mt. Gunung Tilu, pangalengan, jawa barat, Indonesia.

Authentic Arabica Civet Coffee from Pangalengan West Java

 Three Mountain Civet Coffe made from coffee cherries that have been passed through the digestive system of a civet, a cat-sized mammal that only found in south Bandung, pangalengan, Indonesia. A unique combination of enzymes in the civet’s stomach enhances the coffee’s flavour by breaking down the proteins that typically give the coffee its bitter taste.



 When swallowed, the inner beans will pass through the civet’s system undigested. Once eliminated, the coffee beans are still covered in some inner layers of the cherry and must be further processed to extract the coffee bean prior to roasting.



The wild civets will eat only the sweetest coffee cherries when the fruit is at its peak. The farmers of Three Mountain Civet Coffe  then gather the civet processed coffee beans from the forest floor, flush the coffee beans from the remaining layers of fruit, sun dry and hand select only the finest coffee beans. The beans are sent directly from Three Mountain Civet Coffe to consument where Three Mountain Civet Coffe's  expert Roastmaster roasts the civet coffee in micro-lot batches to ensure the perfect taste profiles for Three Mountain Civet Coffe  Wild Java Preanger Civet Coffee.
