How is Weasel Coffee Made?

Weasel coffee also known as Civet Coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet. The civets eat the berries and the beans passes through their digestive system. During the process, only the outer parts of the cherries are digested, the inner part remains intact. The digestive process takes about one and a half days and the beans are defecated in clumps, having kept their shape and still covered with some of the fleshy berry's inner layers as shown. They are gathered, thoroughly washed, sun dried and given only a light roast so as to keep the many intertwined flavors and lack of bitterness yielded inside.
