Welcome to Kalinga Civet Coffee micro website. Civet coffee is considered the rarest, most exotic and most expensive coffee in the world, It comes from Robusta or Exersa coffee beans in the Mt. Magallaya forests in Kalinga Province in the Philippines.
Mt.Magallaya is home to the wild boars, deers and civet cats (called in the Philippines as Musang or Alamid).
It has been the kept secret of many generations on how these hunters of old would make the best tasting coffee from the forests.
They would pick the droppings of the civet cats that carpet the forest floor and after washing, would turn it to the best tasting aroma coffee that it is.
Later on, studies would show that the civet cats pick the ripest coffee beans to eat. Gastric enzymes found in the civet cats further stimulate the coffee bean to produce its distinct taste and aroma.
Experience the gift of nature!
Taste the truly organic "Musang Coffee".
Naturally grown, free from pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, also the Civet cats roam freely and are not caged like many other producers..
The soft pulp of the ripe beans are eaten by the palm civet cats and with the last pulp layers intact, the undigested beans pass through the cat's digestive tract. Civet cats pick the best and ripest coffee beans and their gastric enzymes stimulate the coffee bean to produce its distinct taste and aroma... Civet coffee has great complexity and body, and a mild, long after taste sensation that is unbeatable by other coffee types..
