A herd of elephants is being used to produce some of the world's most expensive coffee.
The exotic new brew, trumpeted as earthy in flavour and smooth on the palate, is made from beans eaten by a herd of 20 Thai elephants and plucked a day later from their dung.
A gut reaction inside the elephant creates what the founder of Black Ivory Coffee calls the coffee's unique taste.

Call me old fashion stuck in my ways but I have to pass on this one.

$50 a cup!

I'd try it.

Considering everything I inhale at work, at least elephant dung fermented coffee is organic

Kopi Luwak {remember the Bucket List}

" kopi luwak is a form of processing, not a variety of coffee, it has been called the most expensive coffee in the world with retail prices reaching €550 / US$700 per kilogram."

It also ferments in poop... maybe that's where the expression

"that "crap" is expensive" comes from.
