Elephant dung coffee Elephant poop coffee is good? Where can I get elephant dung coffee? strange
International online feature: according to the Daily Mail of June 10, the quality of coffee beans is very important for coffee lovers. In Chiang Saen, Thailand's remote area bordering Myanmar and Laos, the best coffee beans are picked from elephant droppings.
Blake Dinkin, 44, the creator of the local black ivory coffee, brews the world's top coffee from beans picked from elephant droppings. Now, the luxury resort in Anantara, Thailand, has begun to offer this alternative coffee to guests.
Initially, Ding Jin considered using raccoons to make "kopi luwak" coffee, that is, using coffee beans in raccoon droppings to brew coffee. But demand for this product is rising in South Asia, such as Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, and its quality is declining. In addition, he also considered lions or giraffes, but in the end he chose elephants because he found that elephants sometimes eat coffee when South Asia is dry. Ding Jin also works with Elephant Rescue Charity. But picking coffee beans from elephant droppings was obviously more difficult than expected, and it took Ding Jin nine years to succeed.
Workers picked coffee beans from elephant droppings, washed them and dried them in the sun. To get one kilogram of qualified coffee beans, an elephant must eat 33 kilograms of coffee beans. Rarity is an important factor in black ivory coffee brands. In 2015, Ding Jin and others successfully harvested qualified coffee beans for the third time, but only 150 kilograms.
It is reported that the black ivory coffee sells for $1880 (11667 yuan) per kilogram and $13 (80 yuan) per cup. Although the price is high, many customers do not hesitate to taste this delicious drink at a high price. Black ivory coffee is currently sold mainly in luxury hotels in Asia and will soon be available in Paris, Zurich, Copenhagen and Moscow.
However, this kind of coffee has not won the love of all coffee lovers. A cafe owner said that elephant droppings brand coffee is more like a gimmick. Interesting as it is, it is not the best product.
