Speaking of X shit coffee, people can't help but think of such a joke: "do you have time for a brief history?" "I don't pick up shit when I have time!" . Kopi Luwak is OK, now not only pay attention to many people, and the popularity has gradually improved, the situation of Kopi Luwak as a gift has been gradually broken, but in recent years, there has been a different! Chang! God! Qi! Coffee-like shit coffee, when I first met this kind of coffee, I believe that coffee practitioners are almost broken down.

●, whether it is cat shit or like shit, as the name implies, takes out the seeds of the coffee fruit it ate before, which is what we call coffee raw beans, from the feces of these two animals. We have introduced the production process of Kopi Luwak before. At first, it was the "daily fruit" that the civets chose to eat independently, so the yield was rare, and because it could not digest the coffee seeds and carried out fermentation, it produced a unique fermentation flavor and a magical hint of mint, coupled with man-made hype, and finally became their nightmare.

Kopi Luwak is famous in the world because the fruit of civet coffee itself is too small, relatively rare, so does the giant like elephant eat less? After understanding, we also understand the reason why coffee like shit can "surprise" people. The production processes of shit coffee and Kopi Luwak are more or less the same. both coffee fruits are eaten by animals and raw coffee beans are excreted by feces. Raw coffee beans in animals get a relatively unique fermentation flavor through the action of various mycin, and are collected and processed manually.

Because the civet is too weak, it is kept in captivity and infused with coffee fruit. But the elephant is different, the process of guiding the elephant to eat the coffee fruit is very soft. First of all, the fresh coffee fruit is collected manually, the rice, banana and coffee fruit are mixed well together and then fed to the elephant. Such meticulous "cooking" elephants naturally like to eat. Coffee beans enter the elephant's body, interact with stomach acid and mycin, and carry out their own preliminary treatment. After a 17-hour stay, the coffee beans are finally excreted by the elephant, and then manually collected, washed, dried and baked for drinking.

● looks at the picture, does it feel that the elephant has eaten so many coffee fruits, the output must be not low? In fact, on the contrary, an elephant eats about 33 kilograms of coffee fruit before it can produce 1 kilogram of raw coffee beans, which is first of all determined by the elephant's terrifying bite force, that is, chewing. this process will chew a large part of the coffee fruit with its seeds and cannot be collected and used. In addition, there is the amazing digestive function of elephants. As one of the largest mammals on earth, it is easy to digest small coffee seeds.

Like shit coffee originated in Thailand, was invented by Canadian Black Dingjin investment, because the production uses a large number of high-quality coffee fruit, so the price can be said to startle people's chin, the price of raw beans per kilogram is 1100 US dollars, equivalent to 7000 yuan, completely beat the exquisite captive Kopi Luwak with a price of 400 US dollars, and each cup of shit-like coffee sells for more than 50 US dollars, which is eye-popping. In terms of taste, can it really be a great surprise? According to the information we have found, although it is not in vain, it does not amaze most people.

●, however, does this seemingly "gentle" feeding really do no harm to elephants? Driven by interests, anything can happen. Coffee fruit contains a lot of caffeine and strong potency. Elephants who eat coffee fruit all the year round will not only disorder endocrine, but also become irritable and emotionally unstable because caffeine stimulates the cerebral cortex for too long, thus reducing life expectancy. Many people may have seen the panic and struggle of civets curled up in their cages, but some people really understand what the elephant's suffering is when the cup deceives the eating elephant. If there is no business, there will be no harm. May everyone not hurt innocent lives for the sake of the false name that such things are not worth it.
