Weasel Coffee
To get real weasel coffee bags is not easy at all. Weasels are raised and cared for thoroughly before each coffee season for a period of 1-2 months.
The berries chosen as food for weasels are also extremely meticulous which must be red ripe fruit, not deep and without spraying. Weasel coffee is actually coffee from weasel’s feces. People are washed, dried and stored in suitable conditions with humidity from 10 – 12%.
To enjoy standard mink coffee, before drinking, put a cup of coffee nose to breathe deeply. From the sense of smell to the taste, you can fully feel the passionate scent. After drinking weasel coffee, you will no longer want to try other coffees. Believe in me!!
