Last Updated: 2024/11/10, The production process of producing dung 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.

Production process

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.
