A group of college students produced coffee by imitating the natural fermentation that makes kopi luwak or civet coffee.
'This is a solution for coffee farmers in Lampung who have experienced a decrease in orders [for civet coffee],' Suroyo Roy, a student at Darmajaya Informatics and Business Institute and one of the initiators of the project said Wednesday.
Roy claimed the artificial process of fermentation and enzyme reaction was the same as happened through digestion. 'The taste is the same as coffee beans digested by civets.'
Earlier, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organized a boycott of the country's popular commodity kopi luwak due to the abuse of civets.
