Is the fine Kopi Luwak better or more like shit coffee? like the price of shit coffee?

Production of Kopi Luwak: civets love to eat red coffee fruits ripe on coffee trees; manually pick out undigested coffee seeds from cat droppings; remove the silver-gray film of coffee seeds, wash them in water and dry them in the sun; roast coffee beans.

Elephant poop coffee: the coffee beans eaten by the elephant are actually artificially fed, so there is no choice about the quality of the coffee beans. Because the coffee fruit is really in the digestive process of the elephant stomach, the enzymatic action decomposes the protein in the coffee beans. Therefore, this kind of elephant poop coffee does not taste bitter, and it takes about 33 kilograms of fresh coffee fruit to produce 1 kilogram of "elephant shit coffee", so the price of elephant shit coffee is expensive.

At present, the price of a kilo of Kopi Luwak is US $500m, and the price of a kilo of shit-like coffee is around US $1100.

Production process

Editing

The process of producing dung-like coffee is quite cumbersome. Ding Jin employs Arabian coffee beans hand-picked by local mountain tribal women as raw materials, and then mixes coffee beans with bananas, sugar cane and other vegetarian foods often eaten by elephants to feed elephants. This gives the coffee a unique earthy and fruity flavor. After thorough cleaning, the semi-finished coffee beans will be sent to Bangkok and finally baked into finished products. [1]

This exotic coffee has replaced Kopi Luwak, a "shit-like coffee" made from coffee beans eaten and excreted by Thai elephants. Ding Jin, who has been involved in Kopi Luwak business, said that after an elephant ate coffee beans, stomach acid decomposed the protein in the beans during digestion. On the other hand, the bitterness of coffee mainly comes from protein, and the common bitterness of coffee disappears after decomposition. This principle is similar to that of cat dung coffee, except that the elephant's stomach is larger and more conducive to digestion and decomposition. [1]
