Price tag (per serving): $50

Black Ivory Coffee is widely referred to as the “Elephant dung coffee”, so you’ve probably already figured out where it comes from. Basically, the elephants eat coffee beans, alongside a mixture of fruit, water, and rice, and several hours later, workers collect the beans defecated by the mammals. Apparently, the elephant’s digestive system has some sort of effect on the coffee beans, giving them unique properties and taste. While considerably cheaper than our number one coffee, it is hard to presume that the average citizen will be able to afford a cup of Black Ivory Coffee each morning, on their way to work.
