Aryan Cuisine

Aryan (âr'ēən), [Sanskrit,=noble], term formerly used to designate the Indo-European race or Indo-Iranian subgroup. The Aryans were part of a great migratory movement that spread in successive waves from Russia and Turkistan during the 2nd millennium B.C. They colonized the Punjab region in Pakistan and absorbed much of the indigenous culture. The resulting Indo-Aryan period saw the flourishing of a pastoral-agricultural economy that utilized bronze objects and horse-drawn chariots.

It is produced from coffee beans which have been partially digested by the Indonesian palm civet and then excreted Origin The origin of kopi luwak is closely connected to the history of coffee production in Indonesia; Dutch colonialists established coffee plantations in Indonesia and imported beans from Yemen.
