Just Ask -Do you sell the Kalinga Extoic brand ?



Hi Osmaun

As for the more exotic brand you are referring to is the the exotic and expensive civet coffee with the launching of the "Kape de Motit", a locally processed civet coffee .
According to Miss Maria Cecilia T. Baral, Senior Trade and Industry Development Specialist of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Kalinga, what made this coffee unique is that it come from the droppings of civet or locally known as "motit." or shi@t or poop's The motit is a cat- like wild animal that feeds on delicately selected red coffee berries. But since the beans are not digested they are excreted. These are then collected and processed just like any ordinary coffee bean.
"But unlike the ordinary coffee, civet coffee produces a distinct taste and aroma believed to be due to the enzyme and breakdown of the bean's proteins in the civet's intestine aside from the high quality of beans being picked by the civet when feeding," Baral said explaining why the product is considerably expensive.

In the world market, one the most popularly known civet coffee product is the Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) of Indonesia which has a selling price of up to $1,300 per kilo and sold mainly in the US and Japan It is also considered as the most expensive coffee in the world according to Forbes Magazine.
Some who taste  feedback that brewed coffee is smooth, sweet, and lingering dark chocolate flavor with a fruity aroma for the macchiato as for the expresso they had bold, rich, fully developed flavors swirling around your upper and lower tongue, no negative aftertaste. As for me I took a step further to ground and charcoal roast the coffee beans with a dish of peanut husk and some of our so call grandfather recipe and later brewed it in my coffee maker, you had to drank it black without the sugar so as to try the pure aroma fragrant that carry a whiff of unexplained mixture of minty smell and lingering cool mouth feel around and under my tongue similar to the essence of mint but without the minty flavor I agree to the sweet rich flavor and non-acidic clean aftertaste but what really missing is the chocolate flavor maybe I did not add milk which might explain the non-chocolate taste. I'm a coffee fiend and love to drink coffee this so far the smoothest, most fragrant and delicate tasting coffee I've ever drank. Expensive but it is truly wonderful. It's like a Mozart concerto in my mouth and in demand but the supply is limited.Finally, it relatively 30% cheaper compared to Kopi Luwak and the taste I would say unique on it own ground and I guess it also boil down to individual preferences and tastes.
