The Story of Luwak Coffee

This story come from Sumatra Island of Indonesia, an area well known for its excellent coffee. From this island also there is a small animal civet like called mongoose (luwak) that like to eat ripe coffee bean, and cherry bean and other kind of small sweat bean. On the stomach of mongoose coffee bean there is a biological treatments and fermentation. After through all process on the stomach, then the bean will exist together with feces. Coffee bean then collected from the forest and washed then dried exposed to the sun. The resulting coffee is said different with other coffee; it has a rich, heavy flavor with hint of caramel or chocolate. This make the luwak coffee more expensive than other kind of coffee, beside have special aroma, this coffee also very rare, because the production can’t much.

So this story is not just fake story but this coffee is real come from Indonesia, through the dark of forest. Sumatra have a big coffee plantation and have a weird coffee. Currently luwak coffee didn’t come from forest but this coffee more deliberately produce, the farmer have mongoose at home and feed with coffee every day, and everyday also they have luwak coffee but not too much.

Coffee Can Make Fat

Actually if just drink coffee, I am very sure that coffee can't make fat, but if you are also eat too much, coffee may become the trigger of the fat. Read more the opinion about this:

I need readers input. Women's World magazine had an article on this, showing examples of how famous people including Angelina Jolie stopped the coffee habit, replaced it with green tea and are losing weight. They aren't talking fad diet here, they are referring to tea's "metabolic" effects. Clearly, coffee is a stimulant but they say it can stimulate things that could keep weight on. Now I know lots of us drink coffee and are still losing weight.

it is probably their personal trainers contributing to the weight loss or stress or not eating, but tea is yummy. stash's chai tea is so good, especially with milk and honey.

Coffee triggers your fat storage hormone because the caffeine increases body's release of insulin. A coffee shop coffee drink has 500 mg of caffeine, while tea has only 30 mg.

It blocks the absorption of calcium, which is nature's fat-fighting nutrient. Calcium stimulates a type of fat burning tissue that is normally dormant.

Coffee elevates levels of stress hormones which can lead to belly fat. Just 2 cups of coffee a day causes the body to respond the way it does when we're under chronic stress by secreting cortisol. Fat cells in the belly respond to stress hormones.

Tea boosts metabolism. Five cups of green tea can boost it by up to 5% due to catechin polyphenols that stimulate tea type of fat burning.

Green tea can block fat absorption because it contains catechols that can reduce fat from your diet by up to 30%. Tea fights abdominal fat because it promotes relaxation.

From other articles I've read, tea is much more healthy for you than coffee. If you drink coffee (a diuretic), they say to drink a glass or two of water to rehydrate your system.
