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 about US $1100.
Black Ivory Coffee (Black Ivory Coffee), also known as Elephant dung Coffee, is made from coffee beans digested and excreted by Thai elephants and produced in the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Base. Enzymes in elephants break down proteins in beans during digestion, making them almost free of the bitterness of ordinary coffee. The coffee is produced and wholesale by Black Ivory Coffee. Due to the extremely limited supply, it is only sold in a small number of five-star hotels in the world, and the price is not cheap. In October 2012, the coffee was first launched by the Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas at $25 a cup, making it one of the most expensive coffee in the world.
