Civets were tied to the spread of SARS. What are they thinking?

Sars link with the civets concerned has been excluded in scientific press. The beans are not broken down by the civet- they are harvested entire and the minimal surrounding excreta washed away to leave clean entire beans.
Kopi Luwak- the correct term has been available in the USA and Canada in epicure coffee shops for several years. A genuine form is produced in controlled hygienic conditions by Bali Orchid Garden- in Bali- and is available for tasting there at less cost. Roasted Beans and ground coffee is for sale through their store or by intenet. See details on their internet site.
