I had the opportunity to try Tuba on my first trip to Phils! It ferments while hanging in the tree! Jena's Grandfather had his worker climb the coconut tree and get the wine. I'm not sure how long it had been fermenting. The man brought down a piece of bamboo that is used to catch the juice from the coconut tree. They strained the juice into a glass and we drank it! Not my favorite, it was a little sour.

I was going to try it on my trip to the Phils back in April. My fiancee told me that it's not a good idea to drink it because you could get tape worm. I still might try it when I visit in March/April this year when she comes back with me.

Wow, I didn't know you could get tapeworm from Tuba. Actually Jena was told that it was a cure for tapeworm. I have no idea. Does anyone else know anything about this?
