From Black Ivory To Kopi Luwak: 6 Of The Most Expensive Coffees In The World
For many of us, coffee is an integral part of our daily routine. Without it, we might feel like something's missing and our energy levels would undoubtedly take a hit. Whether it's a rich cappuccino, a velvety latte or a refreshing cold brew, these beloved beverages have a way of making our day better. But have you ever wondered what lies beyond our usual coffee preferences? In certain corners of the globe, coffee is a rare delight, handcrafted with precision. These brews come with limited supplies and hefty price tags. Curious to learn more? Let's dive into the world of the world's most expensive coffees that are sure to intrigue you. Also Read: Move Over Cold Coffee, Coffee Milk Is The Chill You Need To Try Photo Credit: iStock Here Are 6 Of The Most Expensive Coffees In The World: 1. Black Ivory Coffee Produced in northern Thailand, this coffee owes its uniqueness to elephants. Ripe Arabica cherries are fed to the elephants, digested and later collected from their waste. The natural fermentation in the elephant's stomach breaks down bitterness-causing proteins, resulting in a smooth brew. It takes about 33 kg of cherries to make just 1 kg of Black Ivory Coffee, making it extremely rare. 2. Kopi Luwak Also known as civet coffee, this Indonesian specialty can cost up to $250 to $600 per pound. A small mammal called the civet eats coffee cherries and digests the fruit, leaving behind the beans, which are then cleaned and roasted. Many people claim the process adds depth to the flavour. 3. Hacienda La Esmeralda From the cool highlands of Panama comes a coffee that tastes like flowers in a cup. Known for its jasmine aroma and citrusy notes, this Geisha variety is grown in small lots and picked by hand. It regularly wins international awards and fetches record prices at auctions 4. Saint Helena Coffee This coffee grows on a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Once favoured by Napoleon Bonaparte himself, Saint Helena Coffee is made from rare Green-Tipped Bourbon beans. The flavour is often described as delicate with hints of citrus and spice. 5. Finca El Injerto In Guatemala's highlands, this family-owned farm grows some of the world's best coffee beans. They pay close attention to every detail, which makes their coffee special. Their rare peaberry beans are known for their strong and rich flavour and coffee lovers around the world love them.

Their beans are grown at high altitudes and often aged for extra depth of flavour. Some versions are even matured in oak barrels, giving the brew a nutty taste with hints of chocolate and dried fruit. So if you ever get a chance to try one, would you take a sip?

Mexican designer blends Chicano and Japan's Harajuku styles
Segovia, who has almost 30,000 followers on Instagram, blends the oversized shirts, khakis, and flat-brim caps of Chicano culture with Harajuku's whimsical, fairy-tale aesthetic. The makeup might feature dark lip lining and eyeliner inspired by traditional Geisha makeup. "You can always experiment with fashion and art as long as it's from a place of knowledge and respect," Segovia said. Segovia's distinctive aesthetic has even caught the eye of admirers in Japan. In June, she created special outfits for three Japanese E-Queens—a subculture of electronic music dancers—whom she had connected with online several months earlier. The group met up in Mexico City for a photo shoot and street dance, dressed in Segovia's outfits. "I love how she uses texture," said Shirendev Oyun-Erdenen, a Japanese E-Queen who dances under the name Maaya the Bee. "Helping people feel free to experiment and not be afraid. That's what it's all about," Segovia said.
