BANDUNG, INDONESIA: DRINKING CIVET CAT POO COFFEE Kopi Luwak Farm: ( Civet Cat Poo Coffee Farm) This farm has 80 Civet Cats from 8 species. They are released in the coffee tree garden where they instinctively are able to pick the most fragrant and high caffeine and other beneficial enzymes. It seems the poo-encrusted beans can be used as face scrub for a clear and smooth complexion. But the beans are not digested and they pass it out as poo. These are collected and roasted. According to the manager of the farm there are 12 species of Luwak in Indonesia and the medicinal properties of their poo differ.
