History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Capis Coati Coffee Beans<\/strong> | Originally the first poop coffee beans were processed in Indonesia back in the 18th century when this land was a Dutch colony; The Locals were no allowed to drink coffee but the Dutch yes; so the locals started collecting the poops from the Coati Animals to be dried, roasted and brewed, the result was an awesome aromatic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dutch people noticed that the locals were drinking better coffee than them so they found out this was “Poop Coffee”, as time went by the Dutch people also started drinking this type of Coffee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this Poop Coffee famous?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The First reason<\/strong> why this coffee is so famous it is because of the flavour. The Coati animals are very picky with the fruits they eat, they always choose the best fruit beans \u2013 So when they eat the coffee beans they choose the best ones, which are fermented with other fruits inside the little stomach of these animals.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Second reason<\/strong> why this coffee became so famous, it is a movie, the name of this film is The Bucket List<\/a> \u2013 2007 \u2013 by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.<\/p>\n
