May I ask to clarify–does that mean that the beans are collected from elephant poop, after the elephants digest the beans, like civet poop coffee?
Here’s how it works. The coffee beans are grown on a remote mountainside in the sanctuary. Local villagers pick, wash and dry the beans, then feed them to the elephants, along with a mixture of rice, fruit and water. Anywhere from 15 to 70 hours later, the beans are ready to be recovered.
An elephant’s digestive system supposedly breaks down the proteins of the coffee bean. Think of it as a natural slow cooker producing a taste like nothing else.
