The whole process analysis of elephant dung coffee, expensive Thai coffee

It is not unreasonable for coffee to be called "black gold". Just looking at the fact that coffee is readily available in convenience stores and supermarkets in Taiwan, you know the potential of "black gold" and the business opportunities created are frighteningly high.

But do you know how much a cup of coffee can cost? The answer is 1500 yuan for a cup. Can you imagine drinking a cup of coffee worth 1500 yuan?

And the beans in this cup of coffee were picked up from elephant droppings? And why do coffee beans picked up from elephant poop make the best coffee?

The whole photo record of "Elephant dung Coffee"

The official name of this "elephant dung coffee" is actually "black ivory coffee" (Black Ivory Coffee), inspired by the high-end "civet coffee" (or Kopi Luwak) born from cat dung.

Blake Dinkin, the Canadian entrepreneur who invented the coffee, worked with hotels in northern Thailand, where they raised 20 elephants to produce the expensive coffee.

It is said that the reason why "Elephant dung Coffee" tastes good is that coffee beans naturally ferment in the elephant's stomach, and the enzymes in the elephant's stomach can remove the bitterness of the coffee beans, so the brewed coffee has not only natural grass flavor and fruity aroma, but also almost no bitterness.

When the elephants are full, they will let the elephants go for activities.

The elephant will poop after 15-30 hours.

The workers in the Elephant Garden will pick up these precious elephant dung.

Take the coffee fruit out of it

The disadvantage of elephant dung coffee is its inefficiency. An elephant eats 33 kilograms of raw coffee fruit, but it only increases by 1 kilogram.

After that, the coffee beans are washed and extracted by the locals before the last coffee beans are obtained.

And then boiled.

This is the 1500 yuan cup of Elephant dung Coffee.

Although "Elephant dung Coffee" is expensive, 8% of the profits will be donated to local elephant rescue organizations, not only to take care of elephants, but also to protect the lives of elephant husbands in the elephant garden.

So as long as you don't rush to improve efficiency and mass production, it should be a good deal for mutual benefit.
