About Me:
I am a former US Peace Corps Volunteer in the Philippines, assigned to work with the coffee farmers in the northern mountainous area of the country. I started helping the community develop civet coffee collection, in order to conserve the wild civet population of the area. The Peace Corps civet conservation project was successful, allowing me to develop a career around it once my service was finished.
About My Company:
My company is Forest Blends LLC, and we are based in San Antonio, Texas. The brand name for our civet coffee is Bantai Civet Coffee, which is available for individual customer purchase on December 10, 2008, at www.bantaicivetcoffee.com
