Any One Up For Elephant Poop Coffee?

For your entertainment...

Ten years in the making, BLACK IVORY COFFEE is created through a process whereby coffee beans are naturally refined by Thai elephants in the remote rural village of Ban Taklang, Surin, Thailand.

It begins with selecting the best 100% Thai Arabica beans that have been picked from an altitude as high as 1500 meters. Once deposited by the elephants, the individual beans are hand-picked by the elephant caregivers and then the beans are washed, sun-dried and roasted. Approximately 33 kilograms of coffee cherries are required to produce just one kilogram of BLACK IVORY COFFEE. The result is Black Ivory Coffee is the world's rarest and most expensive coffee.


2.2 lb package of coffee for only $1800

I thought civet cat shit coffee was expensive, but it's mere covfefe in comparison to this!
