HOW WE MAKE AND MAINTAIN A SENSE OF WILD CIVET COFFEE? 

Specialy, this wild civet coffee beans are not only eating but a variety of forest fruits that grow around the area. However, only the outer skin of coffee beans - called Cery - are eaten by civet , so the beans are removed by a ferret is not contaminated by impurities. This is what makes a wild civet coffee has generated more rich flavor and aroma than other civet coffee or conventional coffee. Interestingly, when wild civet coffee beans in the area removing the familiar, raccoons will not move during the habitat is not destroyed. Usually the coffee beans can be found on the outskirts of coffee plantations or in the trunk of the tree is dry. The coffee bean is then collected by farmers for the production of raw materials civet coffee that we produce.

Furthermore, in order to maintain cleanliness and taste there, the beans are washed and peeled from the shell carefully. Pemisaan process is done manually, without using a machine or a huller. Because if the process of separating the seeds from the shells of defective coffee beans, it will lose flavor and aroma of coffee is produced. After that, the dried seeds to dry. To keep the beans so the quality is maintained, used tupperware and conducted surveillance at regular intervals.

Socialization of the economic and ecological benefits of civet coffee to the farmers continue to be made. Our commitment, to improve the welfare of coffee farmers, with no need to wait for the annual harvest or kill the civet. Biological diversity is what makes the taste of civet coffee is superior compared to conventional coffee or civet coffee plantation and cattle breeding outcomes.
