After talking about the expensive Kopi Luwak, let's talk about a wonderful coffee, like shit coffee.

Elephant poop coffee, known as "black ivory" coffee beans, is "naturally extracted" by Asian elephants. The coffee fruit is enzymatic in the digestive process of the elephant stomach, which breaks down the protein in the coffee beans, so the taste of this elephant poop coffee is not bitter. With aromas of milk chocolate, nuts, red berries and a few spices.

However, since it takes about 33 kilograms of fresh coffee fruit to produce 1 kilogram of "elephant shit coffee", most of the coffee beans are chewed, broken or hidden in the grass eaten by elephants, which is difficult to extract from elephant droppings, so the price of elephant shit coffee is expensive. Shit-like coffee is twice as expensive as Kopi Luwak.
