The Origin of Black Ivory Coffee

Black Ivory Coffee (Black Ivory Coffee), also known as "Elephant shit Coffee", is made from coffee beans digested and excreted by Thai elephants and produced in the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Base. Enzymes in elephants break down proteins in beans during digestion, making them almost free of the bitterness of ordinary coffee.

● Elephant dung Coffee has a very literary name called Black Ivory Coffee (Black Ivory Coffee). All the coffee beans are Arabica beans, grown in the mountains of more than 1500 Michael in Chiang Rai. After the beans are picked, they are used to feed the elephants, and the elephants will pull them out. Then the elephant workers will dig out the elephant dung, pick out the coffee beans, wash them and dry them, and then sell them for 34000 baht (5000 yuan) a kilogram, and there are about 10, 000 beans in a kilogram of coffee. Since its launch in October 2012, Elephant dung Coffee has caused a sensation.

The expert's explanation is that during the elephant's digestion, part of the protein that can cause bitterness is consumed, thus making the coffee like dung strong but not bitter, with fragrant lips and teeth. But this is something I've heard of. I haven't tried it.

Now, the price of elephant dung coffee has exceeded that of cat dung coffee. The price of a cup of elephant dung coffee is 1200 baht, or about 240 yuan. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Chiang Rai Golden Triangle Elephant Foundation, hoping to help elephants in Thailand. If any students have tried it, please remember to share it.

● below is the process of making shit-like coffee. Are you ready?

The coffee is produced and wholesale by Black Ivory Coffee, founded by Canadian Blake Dinkin. Before that, in order to develop a coffee that is comparable to or better than Kopi Luwak, he has spent years researching, experimenting around the world, and inviting Massimo Marcone, a food scientist at the University of Guelph (University of Guelph) in Canada, who uncovered the secret of the unique flavor of Kopi Luwak Coffee (Kopi Luwak). After ten years of hard work, this kind of dung-like coffee finally came out.

Do you dare to try ● 's valuable Elephant shit Coffee?

Due to the extremely limited supply, it is only sold in a small number of five-star hotels in the world, and the price is not cheap. Black ivory coffee officially beat Indonesia's civet coffee (Kopi Luwak) to become the world's most expensive coffee in August 2013.

● attached: is there any other coffee produced in a similar way in the world?

Yes, before that, Kopi Luwak had been recognized and sought after by Mat Coffee in the world.

The Kopi Luwak Initiative is the least produced coffee in the world. A bag of 50 grams of coffee beans costs 1500 yuan, and only 4 cups of coffee can be brewed. In other words, the price of a cup is about 400 yuan. The annual global output does not exceed 400 kg. Today, villagers in these areas not only collect wild Rwaka feces, but also begin to raise Rwaka in captivity. Large pots of picked coffee cherries were placed in front of Rwaka, and the hungry Rwaka had no choice but to eat all the coffee cherries. The taste of Rwaka coffee produced in this way is naturally greatly reduced. "scarcity is precious", which has led to the high price of Kopi Luwak, a rare treasure. I'm afraid you'll have to prepare 50 pounds for a cup of such coffee, and you can't find it everywhere.

★ A cup of coffee made from 12 grams of cat shit coffee powder at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo is 380 yuan, limited to 12 cups a day, and demand exceeds supply.

★ in Bali, a cup costs more than 200,000 rupiah, equivalent to more than RMB 150.

★ in the United States, 1 kilogram of cat poop coffee beans is as high as USD 1200. It is always around USD 1000 in the international market.

★ in England, a cup costs 50 pounds (RMB 500).

In the international market, Luwak coffee has always been a veritable luxury, and one of the main reasons is that it is not made by people but by wild animals. Traditionally, the coffee fruit is washed or sun-treated, removing the skin, pulp and sheep skin, and finally taking out the coffee beans, but Luwak coffee is made by natural fermentation in wild animals.

The problem with ● Kopi Luwak: there is a type of coffee called Kopi Luwak that uses beans digested by civets. However, there are at least three factors that have had a negative impact on the reputation and sales of that coffee:

1. In order to produce that "Kopi Luwak", civets are often kept in cages, and this way of treating animals is considered immoral.

2. It is believed that civets passed the SARS virus to humans. In 2004, the Chinese government ordered the elimination of all civets in Guangdong. Accompanied by public concerns about the safety of this kind of coffee, although studies have shown that even with the SARS virus, these viruses can be killed during the high-temperature processing of coffee, but this still does not completely allay some people's concerns.

3. Relevant statistics show that about 50% of the "Kopi Luwak" on the market is counterfeit. In addition, even if the real "Kopi Luwak", although the quality is very good, but it is difficult for ordinary people to taste the difference between it and ordinary coffee.

According to Blake Dinkin, the inventor of Elephant shit Coffee, Elephant Dung Coffee does not have these problems.
