First it was the Civets turning their poo into coffee, but now it’s the Panda’s turn.
Apparently Panda’s don’t do a very good job of digesting food, in fact only absorbing about 30% of what they consume – the rest gets passed right on through – and apparently is great fodder for tea.
A college lecturer in China (is that the same as a College Professor in the US – I’m not sure) is convinced that by using the Panda poo as a base for a tea he can steep the powerful components of Bamboo into a beverage that he believes will help cure cancer and will run about $40,000 a pound!
Apparently “It has a mature, nutty taste and a very distinctive aroma while it’s brewing.”
Who wants to stop by for some tea?

No. A college lecturer is not the same as a college professor in China or any other country. In the US college professors teach most of the classes at Universities, but they also have to do research and “publish or perish”, etc. There are “instructors” here at the college level who ONLY teach classes and are not professors nor on the tenure track – - – THAT is what a lecturer is at international Universities. Professors are all professors everywhere.
Panda poo coffee sounds like it tastes like poo. Blech.
