44歲的黑象牙咖啡研製者布雷克經過9年努力,開發出了一種大象屎咖啡。According to Blake, the enzymes in the elephant's stomach function as a kind of slow cooker, where the digestive acid takes 17 hour to take the bitterness out of the coffee beans.
布雷克把大象胃中的酶形容爲慢燉鍋,其中的胃酸能用17個小時將咖啡豆中的苦味分解掉。
To make a kilo of coffee, the elephants have to consume 33 kg of beans.
大象需吃下33公斤的咖啡豆,纔會產出一公斤的咖啡。The rarity of the elephant dung coffee makes it at $1,880 per kg, or $13 for a cup.
