In the first half of the 20th century, Vietnam’s Central Highlands (1) were sparsely populated by mostly ethnic peoples, and the coffee farms there were still surrounded by extensive tropical jungles which were home to many wild animals.
It is said that every year from September to December when the coffee cherries got ripe, the wild civets were often seen coming out of the jungle in night time for this sort of speciality. With a super
sensitive sniffing ability, they only picked the fleshiest and sweetest red cherries. Within the night, they would release their faeces out with the beans intact in pegarimo shells.
In the morning, coffee farmers walked around collecting the still fresh droppings and dried them in the sun. From these droppings, they made the Cà phê Cứt Chôn – or literally Civet Faeces Coffee – the Legendary Coffee that whoever tasted once would remember the experience forever.
