A bit inconvenient due to lack of space but it works. I'm too lazy for curing. Do you have a separate area to hang them in or will your kitchen do?

I'm not a coffee person so the whole event could just have been wasted on me. I can't remember any distinguishing marks of the flavour, but I've tried it, an experience richer. <br />As a tea person I will spend alot on great tea, preferably monkey picked oolong from China. Haven't heard that any of my devoted coffee friends would spend money on kopi luwak for its flavour profile. I had this kind of coffee in Indonesia.

Grass city. There is not much in the way of bitterness...but no coffee worth drinking has much in the way of bitterness. Brightness yes, bitterness no. <br /><br />In case you ever wanted to know there is a coffee that comes out of the digested tract of a monkey (supposedly not very good) and one that comes out of a jacu bird. I've had the jacu stuff. Result? Better than civit, still just wrong on a whole lot of levels. I've had it on two separate occasions and couldn't stand it. Grass city.

Save that for the creme de cacao. Actually, this reminds me of a recipe for homemade gin on Sandra Lee's "Sandra's Money Saving Meals," using grain alcohol and cheesecloth-wrapped kitty litter.

I've had it many times in VN and can vouch for it's rich flavor and distinct lack of bitterness.The best thing about bringing some home is that you rarely have to share it with anyone.
