Luwak coffee, also known as kopi luwak, is made from coffee beans that have been eaten and digested by the Asian palm civet. This process is believed to reduce bitterness and create a smoother, more complex flavor.
Once known as “forbidden coffee”, it was originally collected only by farmers who searched for the beans in the wild. Today, Luwak coffee is a luxury product enjoyed by coffee lovers around the world — and you can experience its origin right here in Bali.
For example, you’ll explore beautiful coffee farms and learn directly from locals how they produce Luwak coffee — from civet digestion to roasting. We’ll take you to the best luwak coffee plantation in Bali for a private tour experience you won’t forget — complete with tastings, local insight, and scenic views. Our private tour will take you to the best coffee plantations in Ubud, Kintamani, or Gianyar, where you can:
Explore beautiful coffee farms
Learn how Luwak coffee is produced — from civet digestion to roasting
Meet the civets (responsibly cared for)

Some plantations also offer small cafés overlooking lush green valleys the perfect place to sip and relax.
Many believe the enzymes in the civet’s digestive system help remove acidity and create a smoother brew. Others debate whether it’s worth the high price. Either way, it’s a cultural and sensory experience like no other — and Bali is one of the few places in the world where you can enjoy it right at the source.
