Ivory is a coffee with a unique taste. But what really sets it apart is not its taste, but its unusual production process. Elephants are the main 'middlemen' who increase the price of this coffee. How is that possible? This coffee is made from elephant tusks. Black Ivory coffee is one of the most expensive coffees in the world, costing $2,000 per kilogram, or about three-quarters of a million rupees. What is the reason for this? The difficulty of making it is the reason for such a high price. It takes about 33 kilograms of coffee beans to produce one kilogram of Black Ivory coffee. This is because elephants digest most of the beans they eat, and only a small part is usable. Only the best Thai Arabica coffee beans are selected to make Ivory coffee. These beans are carefully washed and sorted. They are fed to elephants. As they pass through the elephant's digestive system, the coffee beans undergo a unique fermentation process. Enzymes in the elephant's stomach break down the proteins that cause the coffee's bitterness. The coffee then becomes a smoother, less acidic, and more chocolaty-tasting brew.
