Sea Island Coffee adds Kopi Luwak Civet Cat coffees to portfolio

Sea Island Coffee adds Kopi Luwak Civet Cat coffees to portfolio ;Sea Island Coffee, a specialist online retailer of coffees in Europe, has introduced a collection of Kopi Luwak Civet Cat coffees on its website at www.seaislandcoffee.com. The company currently offers four Kopi Luwaks with plans for more Civet Cat coffees in the future.

Kopi Luwak coffee is derived from the droppings of Asian Palm Civet Cats. They inhabit the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Benguet region of the northern Philippines, in Bali and in India.

It's made from coffee cherries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Civet. The droppings are then collected and washed and thoroughly before being given only a light roast.

The first in the Kopi Luwak line is Phillipine Alamid coffee. It's produced by the Paradoxorus Philippinensis Civet in the forests of the Philippine mountains.

The second is the Philippines Kape Musang and it's produced in the highlands of the Benguet region in the northern Philippines at around 1900mt above sea level.

The third is the Balmadies Civet Cat Coffee. This Kopi Luwak is collected at Balmadies Estate, a coffee farm at 1,400mt above sea level in the Nilgiris region in southern India.

Finally, the fourth is Sumatra Kopi Musang. It's produced in Banda Aceh in northern Sumatra at around 1,300 metres above sea level.

Sea Island Coffee's Guy Wilmot said the company already specializes in rare and exotic coffees including Jamaica Blue Mountain and Hawaii Kona, so this was a natural progression for it. For the latest updates PRESS CTR + D or visit Stock Market news Today
