What is Black Ivory Coffee?
Black Ivory Coffee is considered one of the rarest and most luxurious coffees in the world. Produced in Thailand, this unique coffee is made using Thai Arabica beans that are eaten and naturally processed by elephants. The beans pass through the elephant’s digestive system, where fermentation reduces bitterness and enhances the natural sweetness and aroma of the coffee.
This extraordinary process results in a cup that’s incredibly smooth, low in acidity, and layered with rich notes of cacao, tamarind, and pu-erh tea.
The Story Behind the Beans
Produced in the Golden Triangle region of Northern Thailand, Black Ivory Coffee is an initiative that not only produces an elite coffee experience but also supports elephant welfare. A percentage of proceeds go toward the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, supporting the well-being of rescued elephants and their caretakers (mahouts).
This coffee is ethically sourced, rare, and packaged in elegant containers, making it an exceptional gift or collector’s item.
