"This means we can then wash away any impurities. We then wash it off into water to create a DNA solution." Dr Evison said: "How they died is a judicial issue but if we notice, for example blunt force trauma to the head, we will pass that information on to the authorities."“

"The intention is to sell into the speciality coffee market which offers much better prices." The market for speciality coffee has been growing in recent years providing a profitable alternative to the cut-throat commercial market for those with something special to offer. Something special A three year pilot for the Cafe Mojsa project has given a clear indication that coffee from the Bolivian Yungas region has the potential to please the palate, and conscience, of the world's more discerning consumers.
