Description

The powerful antioxidant methylpyridinium is found almost exclusively in coffee. It boosts the blood enzyme believed to protect against cancer. Coffee prevents diabetes.

Mount Apo Civet coffee is from naturally grown chemical free Arabica beans from the rich volcanic soil of Mt. Apo in altitudes of 1500 meters and above. A civet eats the berries for their fleshy pulp. In its stomach, proteolytic enzymes seeps into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids. These beans yield an aromatic coffee with much less bitterness. The mix of variety, soil, elevation and the civet digestion, selection and mild roasting. Makes this coffee taste truly heavenly.

Why does Civet Coffee taste so good?

The Philippine civet "cat" uses its nose to choose the ripest and sweetest coffee cherries and relentlessly eats them during coffee season. The animal digests only the pulp of the beans which passes through the civet's digestive tract and naturally ferments the beans in its digestive system where enzymes break down some of the proteins, producing beans of low acidity and thereby resulting in a very smooth, much less acidic brew. The process is very natural and one may say, it is very "organic"!

The droppings are usually harvested by hand from the plantation floor, and the beans are then cleaned up, air dried for a couple of days, and roasted to produce the unique taste and aroma.

Unlike all other coffee, the Civet Coffee has no bitter taste. It produces a soft to pungent smell but its alluring odor is very distinct and unique. The intensity of its dark chocolate-like aroma is so smooth that it tasted like a fermented plum with hazelnuts. While it may perhaps lack scientific basis, the Civet Coffee is considered by some to be an aphrodisiac.
