Haven't you ever heard of monkey coffee? Then you must have heard of civet coffee, and you all know that this legendary delicious coffee is actually obtained from the feces of a so-called "civet". This group of civets like to eat coffee fruit, but cannot digest coffee beans, so they can clearly see a mixture of coffee beans in their feces, and these coffee beans are affected by enzymes after some toss in the digestive tract. The structure of the protein has changed a little, the sense of bitterness has been sharply reduced, and the volatile compounds are different from ordinary coffee.

Monkey coffee

Just like civet coffee, monkey coffee is also a rare coffee bean obtained from monkey droppings. Because smart monkeys are very picky about coffee fruits, if they are not delicious, they will not necessarily swallow them, so the quality is screened in the first step. and then after the baptism of the digestive tract, so that the flavor is better and special, but the output is not much, and because the quantity is not much, so the price is not cheap!

Where does monkey coffee come from?

According to the author's reference, monkey coffee originated in India and Africa, in which African monkey coffee is taken from monkey excrement, while Indian monkey coffee is made from intraoral saliva, also known as "monkey drooling coffee".

Monkey coffee in India mainly comes from the town of chickmagalur in Karnataka, which has good mountains and water, and the coffee garden accounts for 60% of India's total coffee production. Monkeys mainly live in the forest, and these coffee farms are located next to the forest, so monkeys often patronize these coffee farms, select the coffee fruits, eat the flesh into their mouths, and spit out the rest of the coffee seeds. these seeds are usually used as natural fertilizer. in recent years, animal coffee has become more and more popular, so it has been specially collected and sold to foreign markets.
