What is the world's most expensive coffee? You may be mistaken to answer because the first position has been replaced. Shifting the position of civet coffee (indonesian origin),
now this is the most expensive coffee in the world that comes from elephant dung.
The world's most expensive coffee is now no longer civet coffee but Black Ivory Coffee from Thailand.
The price of a cup of coffee is quite fantastic that is more than US $ 67.60
This coffee itself is made in certain areas of Thailand previously known as opium exporters (also known as golden triangle).
To produce Black Ivory Coffe, elephants will be asked to eat coffee beans.
For three days the coffee beans will remain in their stomach before they finally come out in the dirt.
The workers will then take the beans and then wash, dry and roast them.
This seed becomes very expensive because of the approximately 15 kilograms of coffee beans given to elephants, can only be obtained half a kilogram of Black Ivory Coffee seeds. So, what's so special about this elephant poop coffee?
Elephants eat a lot of grass and vegetables. Herbivores such as elephants ferment in the stomach to break the cellulose from their food.
Fermentation is great for wine, beer, or coffee because it can release the sweet taste of the seeds. This fermentation eliminates the bitterness of the coffee beans so that Black Ivory Coffe no longer needs to be sugared because it is not bitter.
The aroma of Black Ivory Coffee is like a mixture of flowers and chocolate. It tastes like chocolate with cherries. There is absolutely no bitter taste because it is so soft.
what say you ?
lets give it a try :)
