I was disappointed because it was not at all distinctive. I learned of Black Ivory, and was intrigued by the process and the rarity. After tasting Black Ivory, I was delighted at its distinctive taste and lack of bitterness. Aside from the distinctive taste, Black Ivory is superior to Kopi Luwak in taste, rarity and ethics. I bought the triple pack so I could keep one for my spouse and myself and share the other two with friends. Review: Definitely different - The pack that you receive is very small. I prepared this coffee pour over style immediately after I ground the beans. It was only enough to make less than three 8 ounce cups of coffee. That's with going by the instructions of my pour over, using about one tablespoon for every 4 ounces of liquid. As far as taste, first impression was the smell... it's definitely different than the normal coffee smell you're used to smelling from a coffee house or your coffee maker in the morning. It's more earthy. My kids swore they could smell hints of elephant poop. *eyeroll* But the smell also comes across in the flavor. It tastes earthy and grassy. It's smooth and has no bitterness. I didn't taste the chocolate notes but I did get the tamarind/spice elements of it. My hubby and I tried this, along with my parents, brother and his wife and we all agreed that it wasn't bad but is it worth all this money? The consensus was...no. It's definitely "different" but not something I think I would ever crave or want again as far as flavor. It's more of a novelty item if anything because of how rare it is. The best thing it has going for it is that the money from this supposedly helps elephants. ## Features - The Pinnacle of Rarity Crafted in micro-lots of approximately 225 kilograms per year, Black Ivory Coffee is one of the rarest and most exclusive coffees in the world. - A Journey Across Thailand Hand-harvested Arabica cherries from the mountainous region of Chiang Rai are naturally refined by Thai elephants cared for in the fertile lowlands of Surin Province — a journey few coffees can claim. - A Gift Like No Other Presented as a luxurious set of three individually wrapped packs, Black Ivory Coffee is the ultimate gift for connoisseurs, adventurers, and those who value the extraordinary. - Purpose in Every Cup Each purchase directly supports the welfare of elephants and educational opportunities for local communities in Northern Thailand. - A Journey Told Through Flavor Experience an unforgettable profile: delicate notes of cacao, tamarind, subtle spice, and a lingering sugarcane finish — a sensory story few will ever taste. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01KOZAUS2 | | ASIN | B01KOZAUS2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #126,898 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #1,141 in Roasted Coffee Beans | | Brand Name | Black Ivory Coffee | | Caffeine Content Description | Caffeinated | | Caffeine Content Per Serving | 50 Milligrams | | Coffee Roast Level | Medium Roast | | Coffee Type | Coffee Bean | | Container Type | Envelope | | Country as Labeled | Thailand | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (30) | | Diet Type | Vegan | | Each Unit Count | 3 | | Flavor | Smooth Arabica with notes of cacao and date | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Whole Bean | | Item Package Weight | 0.29 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 3.7 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Black Ivory Coffee Company | | Manufacturer | Black Ivory Coffee Company | | Number of Items | 3 | | Number of Pieces | 3 | | Package Dimensions | 10.1 x 8 x 3.2 inches; 3.7 ounces | | Product Shelf Life | 12 Months | | Region of Origin | South-East Asia | | Size | 1.23 Ounce (Pack of 3) | | Special Ingredients | 100% Thai Arabica Whole Roasted Bean, Naturally Refined by Elephants | | Specialty | Ethically Sourced, Gourmet, Single Origin | | Sweetness Description | Mildly sweet | | Unit Count | 3.7 Ounce | | Units | 3.7 Ounce | | Variety | Arabica | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Black Ivory Coffee - **Caffeine Content Description:** Caffeinated - **Flavor:** Smooth Arabica with notes of cacao and date - **Item Form:** Whole Bean - **Roast Level:** Medium Roast ## Images ![Original Blend - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AM8GWdAkL.jpg) ![Original Blend - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6184yhhXXTL.jpg) ![Original Blend - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717sXAPTPsL.jpg) ![Original Blend - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JDt0U7wPL.jpg) ![Original Blend - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fnjd-cw4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these beans from elephant poo?** A: These are 100% Thai Arabica beans that have been naturally refined by elephants. **Q: What is the best way to brew this?** A: Which brewer to use is a bit subjective as it depends on how concentrated you like your coffee. My preference as Founder is with the Black Ivory Coffee syphon as it gives a really nice balanced cup and helps to bring out the more delicate notes. If you cannot afford our syphon or do not want to pay this amount a less expensive option is with a pour over like a V60. If you prefer a stronger cup I recommend to brew with a mocha pot. To be blunt, the roast profile is not designed for an espresso so I don't recommend it brewed this way and on the opposite spectrum I really do not like it with a French Press / plunger as the cup is not very balanced. Thanks for your question and feel free to ask anything else. Our syphon can be found on our website and you can ask questions direct to me there as well. **Q: Correct me if I’m wrong, they want $200 for 3 single servings of coffee?** A: I will be happy to correct you. Each pack of 35 grams / 1.23 ounces can serve roughly 4 espresso size cups or 2 mugs depending on your brewing method. As a result this triple pack is the equivalent of 12 espresso size cups or 6 mugs of Black Ivory Coffee. Please also note that this is the world's most expensive coffee and with only roughly 100 kg / 220 lbs harvested in 2019 it is among the rarest in the world. As the owner of Black Ivory Coffee, my creation is not meant to appeal to a wide audience. It is for those who love a luxury product that tastes great, loves an intrigued story that can be chains with friends/loved ones, is rare, socially conscious and in this case, supports elephants in N.E. Thailand. I hope this gives you the information you require but please do not hesitate to ask a follow‐up question. Your inquiry is appreciated. **Q: Just out of curiosity is this from a specific species of elephant? If so which one?** A: The elephants who voluntarily snack on coffee cherries in order to create Black Ivory Coffee are generically referred to as Thai elephants. However, "Thai elephants" is not a name of species or sub-species. Specifically, they fall under the species of Asian elephant and sub-species of Indian elephant (Elephas maximus indicus). To clarify, Indian elephants refer to the sub-species not the geographic location which in this case is Thailand. I hope this helps even though it sounds a bit confusing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Distinctive taste & rarity make Black Ivory Clear choice over Kopi Luwak *by K***N on March 17, 2025* I am passionate about coffee, and first tried Kopi Luwak.

The taste is different with remarkable and also subtle notes. I have tried the genuine Kopi Luwak and this is definitely more distinctive to my taste buds. I ordered this once as a treat. And loved it so much, I am now onto my third order. If you are at all on the fence, I heartily say to "go for it". The service is great and the product arrived quickly and well packaged. Caution that it can be habit forming. ## Frequently Bought Together - Black Ivory Coffee – World’s Rarest, Naturally Refined by Elephants | Luxury Gift Set | 3 x 40g (4.2 oz Total) - Cafés Granell Wild Civet Arabica Coffee Beans, Medium Roast Gourmet Indonesian Luwak Coffee Gifts, 100g - Black Ivory Mahout's Blend - An Exquisite Blend of The World's Most Expensive Coffee, Elephant Refined and Medium Roast Arabica Beans, Luxury Coffee Lover's Gifts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/33370654-original-blend](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/33370654-original-blend) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
