5. Black Ivory Coffee
This coffee is produced in the mountainous region of Chiang Rai province, Northern Thailand. It is also a waste product, but it is elephant dung. It is believed that the acid in the elephant's intestines will remove the protein in the coffee beans (which is the cause of the bitter taste), thereby creating a special flavor, no longer bitter like regular coffee, and at the same time has the flavor of banana and sugarcane. During the digestion process, many beans are chewed, broken or disappear before being excreted, so about 33kg of beans are obtained to get 1kg of raw Black Ivory. A cup of ready-made Black Ivory coffee costs up to 50 USD.
4. Saint Helena Coffee
$79 for a cup of coffee, that’s what you’ll pay if you want to enjoy a cup of Saint Helena coffee from a small island in the South Atlantic. It takes growers up to four months to sun-dry the beans, which is what makes this coffee so special.
3. Kopi Luwak Coffee
This is a special type of coffee that is only found in West Lampung (Indonesia). Civets eat the coffee beans, which are then partially fermented in their stomachs before being excreted, creating the unique taste of this coffee. You will have to pay up to 80 USD for a cup of Kopi Luwak coffee.
