So I visited an organic coffee farm when I was in Bali two weeks ago.
It was an interesting experience for a new coffee drinker like me - learning about harvesting the coffee beans, processing, drying and roasting.
Of course, Indonesia is most famous for Kopi Luwak - coffee that includes partly digested coffee cherries eaten and defecated by the Asian Palm Civet. I saw some of the civets in cages and they looked so sad. Apparently, with the popularity of Kopi Luwak, wild civets are greatly hunted and housed in small cages. Really cruel.
So I'll be sticking to my regular animal cruelty-free coffee.

Very cute card. I'm not a coffee drinker, but if I were, I'd be cruelty-free for sure. Not to mention that I'm not keen on partially digested stuff as food as a general rule.
ReplyDeleteOK, I love coffee and I love birdies. Yay to that adorable birdie. Cute card! And I'll stick to my regular coffee, too. That's a sad story.
ReplyDeleteSuper card Yvonne, lovely and colourful

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and happy card.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Yvonne! Love the bird and the rainbow stripes on here, and your misted background is awesome, too! The story about the civets makes me really sad, though. I'm not familiar with that coffee, but I will be avoiding it, for sure.
