[cat shit archrival] Thailand's elephant shit coffee produces less than one kilogram and sells 8000 mosquitoes.

Kopi Luwak produced in Indonesia is one of the most expensive coffee in the world, and the poop coffee produced in Thailand can compete with it for a long time. The shit-like coffee produced in Chiang Mai is very popular with foreign tourists. Due to the complicated production process, demand exceeds supply.

The owner of Meadeng Elephant Camp revealed that he has been producing "Royal Ivory" canned elephant shit coffee for a year, with a price of 36000 baht (about HK $8000) per kilogram of coffee beans. One kilogram can make 142 cups of coffee, and each cup of coffee costs about 1000 baht (HK $2222).

He points out that the production process of elephant shit coffee is complicated, producing only a few hundred kilograms a year, causing the supply of such coffee to fall short of demand. The reason for the low output of shit coffee is that the elephants in charge of production have to be strictly selected. apart from being healthy and painless, they are also adults who have never given birth, and there are fewer qualified elephants. Coffee production is also reduced.

In terms of elephant diet, the coffee beans eaten by elephants are artificially selected and will be mixed with fruit. The coffee beans are digested in the elephant's stomach for three days, then picked out and cleaned by the staff, then dried for another seven days, and finally after eight months of special roasting, the fragrant shit-like coffee can be produced.
