There are coffee connoisseurs who will spare no amount of money to try an elite variety of the drink when such an opportunity arises.
However, premium varieties are indeed very expensive.
What types of drinks are considered the most valuable?
Black Ivory, Thailand
In order to enjoy rare and expensive coffee, you will have to prepare at least three thousand dollars. It is worth considering that this type of drink is made exclusively to order.
The cost is determined not only by the impeccable taste, but also by the production method. First, you have to give the elephant more than 30 kilograms of raw material to eat. Then, you have to find whole coffee beans in the waste, wash them and dry them. As a rule, you can get only 1 kg out of the 30 original kilograms.
After this, the grains undergo further processing stages.
Kopi Luwak, Indonesia
This type of coffee is also made by Filipino craftsmen and some Indian producers. First, the musang must feast on the coffee.
Afterwards, it is necessary to find the grains in the animal’s feces.
Then other steps to prepare the coffee begin. The drink may vary in cost. For example, coffee that is made with the help of animals kept in cages is cheaper.
But if the animals live in the wild, the cost can exceed $100 per 100 grams of raw material.
