Have you heard of any of your friends praising
generously the black ivory coffee for its unmatchable taste? Or did you stand
wondering how could a cup of black ivory coffee could be so tasty? Then listen,
here is the secret: black ivory coffee comes out of an elephant’s rear end,
believe it or not.
The new brew of coffee fast gaining popularity
and is one of the most expensive in the world at £30 a cup, as every bean used
to make it has to be plucked out of a pile of elephant dung, according to Metro
News UK.
The report quoted producers in Thailand as
saying that feeding the ingredients to their herd of 20 elephants improved the
flavour, as the animals’ stomach acid made them less bitter.
And ha, the coffee is rightly named as crap-uccino,
that has already become the butt of jokes.
But it seems Canadian Blake Dinkin, who has
spent £300,000 developing the idea, may have the last laugh. The first 70kg
batch of coffee he produced in northern Thailand has sold out.
‘There’s definitely something wild about it
that I can’t put a name on,’ Metro quoted US tourist Ryan Nelson, 31, who tried
it at a hotel near the elephants’ home.
