MADIKERI: December to January is coffee cherry time in Kodagu, and estates across the district wear an ornamental red look during this period. Among the first visitors who come in quest of the aroma of the coffee cherries are the Asian Palm Civets, who are among the best coffee pickers. They pick and feast on premium quality coffee cherries on the vast estates and poop out the most expensive coffee beans in the world. Kodagu district has a large population of civets – a cat-like wild animal whose population is scattered across certain belts of the district.
