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.

We hear from Charles Cadenhead of Mostly News and Desperate Husbands. Charles has some coffee bean roaster questions, offers us a helpful tech tip in regards to our new Grand Central Number 210.880.GALS (4257) and gives us a detailed explanation about the difference between basements and root cellars. Thanks so much Charles for your audio comments. Be sure and check out his shows. We find them both informative and entertaining!

Jackie has some news about a coffee cup recall from Starbucks.

There is also a report out that puts the Coffee Gals in a group of older affluent consumers. Does this mean snooty times ahead?

A Twitter friend of Jennifer’s, “Dr. Linguist” shared findings of a recent report on the Thigh Slimming properties that Doctor’s in Rio de Jinero have found in coffee.
