It is estimated that many people have heard of what is claimed to be the most expensive exotic coffee in the world. It is named Kopi Luwak because the raw material is coffee beans eaten by civets and then excreted. Now, however, another exotic coffee has replaced the most expensive position of Kopi Luwak: "shit-like coffee" made from coffee beans eaten and excreted by Thai elephants.

The coffee, called Black Ivory, costs $1100 a kilogram and retails at $50 a pot, more than double the price of Kopi Luwak. It is said that this "elephant dung coffee" has an earthy aroma and a lubricated taste. The inventor of this coffee is Blake, a businessman from Canada. Ding Jin invested $300000 to produce this kind of coffee in the mountains of northern Thailand.

Ding Jin, who has been involved in the cat dung coffee business, said that after elephants eat coffee beans, stomach acid breaks down the protein in coffee beans during digestion.

On the other hand, the bitterness of coffee mainly comes from protein, and the common bitterness of coffee disappears after decomposition.

This principle is similar to that of cat dung coffee, except that the elephant has a larger stomach and is more conducive to digestion and decomposition.

The process of producing dung coffee is quite cumbersome. Ding Jin employs Arabian coffee beans handpicked by local mountain tribal women as raw materials, and then mixes coffee beans with bananas, sugar cane and other vegetarian foods often eaten by elephants to feed elephants. This gives the coffee a unique earthy and fruity flavor.
