Westrock Coffee - I sure hope this isn't Black Ivory

Black Ivory yummy, elephant dung coffee. :stuck_out_tongue:

My wife decided to try Westrock coffee. Note the bag’s logo.

OMG :frowning:

Haven’t said anything. She likes her new coffee. It was only $6 a pound. Elephant shit coffee is supposed to be extremely expensive. So, I’m hoping, hoping this isn’t what it appears to be.

:dubious:

Like you say, the elephant-extruded beans are some of the most costly around, so your $6 stuff couldn’t possibly be that. Yours is probably just plain elephant poop.

yummy

Think I’ll get my thermometer and test my coffeepot. Make sure that water is boiling before it drips through the grounds.

What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. :smiley:

Wrong kind of elephant.

I’m impressed that Westrock has been working directly in Rwanda and other African countries. Helping to revitalize the area. It’s the best of both worlds. I hope its making a small difference for those farmers.

At the risk of being called hypersensitive, the term Black Ivory has a pretty awful meaning entirely unrelated to the coffee trade. {PDF} Jesus, you might as well call it Niggers In Chains.

That would also be a good name for a band with members from N.W.A and Alice In Chains.
