title_body: is it true that some coffee types contain elephants dung?
upvoted_answer: This is actually called black ivory coffee.
  
  Cambodia is not actually where you get this coffee originally. The company that creates this coffee is actually based in Thailand and uses coffee beans and elephants in Thailand to make this weird sounding coffee. As said by Wikipedia:
  
  
    Black Ivory Coffee is a brand of coffee produced by the Black Ivory Coffee Company Ltd in northern Thailand from Arabica coffee beans consumed by elephants and collected from their waste 
  
  
  A simple Google search brings up a lot of results on black ivory coffee where your Telegraph article comes up as the first result. Thus, this does exist and is not a hoax.
