5. Black Ivory Coffee

This type of coffee is produced in the mountainous region of Chiang Rai province, northern Thailand. It's also a byproduct of elephant dung, but this time it's elephant dung. It's believed that the acid in the elephant's intestines removes the protein in the coffee beans (which is the cause of bitterness), thus creating a unique flavor that's not as bitter as regular coffee, and also has hints of banana and sugarcane. During digestion, many beans are chewed, broken, or disappear before being excreted, so it takes about 33 kg of beans to produce 1 kg of raw Black Ivory coffee. A single cup of brewed Black Ivory coffee can cost up to $50.

4. Saint Helena Coffee

At $79 USD per cup, that's how much you'll have to pay to enjoy a cup of Saint Helena coffee from a small island in the South Atlantic. Growers spend up to four months sun-drying the coffee beans, which is what makes this coffee unique.

3. Kopi Luwak Coffee

This is a special type of coffee found only in West Lampung (Indonesia). Civets eat the coffee beans, which then partially ferment in their stomachs before being excreted, creating the unique flavor of this coffee. You'll have to pay up to $80 for a cup of Kopi Luwak.

2. Hacienda La Esmeralda Coffee

Hacienda La Esmeralda's Geisha is a type of coffee grown in Boquete, Panama. It's also popular worldwide due to its exceptional flavor. The coffee plants are grown in the shade of guava trees, which may be why it has such a unique taste. The price of this coffee is $350 per pound.
