Monkey poop coffee – Monkey parchment coffee
Unlike the other poop coffees listed above, this one doesn’t really come from animal droppings. The Rhesus monkeys are smart enough to not eat the coffee seeds. They chew on the berries and then spit out the seeds which are then collected, washed, dried and then roasted to produce monkey poop or commonly knows as monkey parchment coffee. Read more here.
