We finally tracked down our Bantai Civet Coffee contest winner, Michael Madison. Luckily we were also able to convince Dustin Butler, owner of Bantai Civet Coffee to join us for another tasting. Yeah, we know it’s self serving since we will also get to drink some of this $320/lb coffee. However this time we’re ready for the big buzz. Going plaid is a forgone conclusion. Join us for some coffee fun!
A special thanks to Janie at the San Antonio Coffee Roasters aka What’s Brewing for allowing us to record in their roasting facility. The smell of the coffee is always amazing!
The Coffee Gals have a special treat for our listeners. We are pleased to interview Dustin Butler of Bantai Civet Coffee. Dustin shares the story behind the coffee that costs $320 lb. Commonly called “weasel poop” coffee, the real story behind the Bantai Civet Coffee is one of conservation of land, endangered species and successful farming for native tribes. Everyone wins in this story, especially coffee aficionados.
When Dustin was kind enough to donate a 4oz batch of this premium and high priced blend to the Morning BrewCast an idea was born. We knew we would have to record a live tasting of the Bantai Civet Coffee, so why not invite one of our listeners to join us for this special treat? We devised a way to make this both a fun experience as well as one that could benefit the Julia Campbell Memorial Park where the coffee is grown and “harvested”.
Win the chance to be on the Morning BrewCast when we try the Bantai Civet Coffee with Dustin Butler at What’s Brewing in San Antonio, TX.
For every Ten Dollar donation receive an entry for the opportunity to sit down and have a cup or two of the Bantai Civet Coffee (aka weasel poop coffee). Donations will be sent directly to the Julia Campbell Memorial Park where the coffee is “produced”. Winner will be announced Wednesday, June 3rd. Out of town winners will have coffee shipped to them and will be Skyped in for the tasting on Saturday.

Sunday Morning Coffee
Jackie and Jennifer were having a delicious cup of brew and chatting on a nice Sunday morning. So the desire to record hit. Thanks to the ease of BlogTalkRadio we were able to put a show out.
• A good friend of the show, Michael De Leon, sent us a link to the site, “Death by Caffeine”. We discover just how much caffeine it would take to kill Jennifer.
• Starbucks has created their own unique “soluble” version of instant coffee which will come out on March 3rd.
• We really like the Crop to Cup concept of creating a closer and more intimate connection between the farmer growing the beans and the coffee in our cups.
-Our good friend and fellow podcaster, Ajay from All Axis Radio came all the way from Canada to join Jennifer and Jackie in the sound booth.
- So what happens when a non-coffee drinker spends time with the Coffee Gals?
- Texas stereotypes: The Good, The Bad and the Downright Hilarious
- Driving in San Antonio is not for the faint of heart
- Riverwalk fun: Ajay meets some REAL Mexicans
- Jennifer manages to offend all kinds of folks on this show. Send your complaints to…..
- Everything is bigger in Texas even the bugs
- “Do be do be do” – Chocolate-covered coffee beans to the person who can name that tune.
In case you can’t tell from all the laughter, we had an amazing time with Ajay. We hope to either make it to Canada soon or perhaps he’ll make a return visit. You know the old saying, ” I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as quick as I could.”
If you want to hear some great Canadian Indie Rock, we highly recommend you head over to All Axis Radio. Tell Ajay the Coffee Gals sent ya.
