Coffee from an elephant's gut
In the lush hills of northern Thailand, a herd of 20 elephants is excreting some of the world's most expensive coffee.
Trumpeted as earthy in flavor and smooth on the palate, the exotic new brew is made from beans eaten by Thai elephants and plucked a day later from their dung. A gut reaction inside the elephant creates what its founder calls the coffee's unique taste.
Stomach turning or oddly alluring, this is not just one of the world's most unusual specialty coffees. At $1,100 per kilogram ($500 per pound), it's also among the world's priciest.

ReplyDeleteFiona, for once in your life you are right: this is bizarre
ReplyDeleteSo true! Now you poor Colored people keep gathering those turds for pennies a day. Nah Mean?
ReplyDeleteIt must have been an ignorant non WHITE to make the 1st comment. For the moronic colored fools, you do not eat coffee "which is made of beans" you drink it. The only shit is from between the first commentators ears. Now why don't all of you colored assholes go pick me some beans, my rich White Ass needs coffee!!! And for the piece of shit that will block this comment, I say FUCK YOU each and every minute that you have left on this earth!!! You sorry excuse for a human being
ReplyDeleteApprove my dick on your lips!!!
ReplyDeleteyet another proud reson why I don't drink coffee & take them shackels off those poor elephants and BUILD a goddamn pen!!!! and they have to be forcefeeding the coffee bean pods so they don't crush & grind up the beans they swallow!
