(Phnom
Phen) Coffee farmers in Cambodia today announced a new process coffee for the
high end specialty coffee trade, DPP. The process is unique in the world and
was discovered by farmers in the Ratanakiri region already famous for its civet
processed coffee. Farmers discovered that much of the coffee passed from the
civet was being consumed by feral dogs in the area before they were able to
harvest the beans. Farmers then traced down the scat of the dogs and were delighted
to discover all was not lost. The resulting double ingested coffee produced a
unique flavor that the farmers realized would have appeal to the increasingly
specialized coffee market. "Nowadays, it seems everybody's getting into
the mammalian excreted coffee craze, not just civets, but monkeys and
elephants, too. Having our coffee pass through two mammal's digestive tracks
gives us a clear advantage," coffee farmer Thun Yesman said. This new coffee is
designated as DPP, Double Pooped Process and promises to be the most expensive
coffee yet in an already crowded market.
