Most coffee plantations in Bali are located in the highland areas. The cool air and volcanic soil make perfect conditions for growing coffee.
Popular regions include:
Ubud outskirts
About 30 to 45 minutes north of Ubud center. These small farms often include views of rice fields or jungles.
Kintamani Highlands
About two hours from southern Bali or 45 minutes from central Ubud. This area is famous for producing citrusy Arabica beans grown near Mount Batur.
Batukaru or Munduk
Less touristy and very scenic, with foggy mountain forests and peaceful plantations.
Many of these locations are along popular day tour routes, so it is easy to add a coffee stop between temple or waterfall visits.
A typical coffee plantation tour in Bali is hosted by locals who explain the process from bean to cup. Most tours are free, and you are invited to walk through the farm and learn how the coffee is grown, harvested, roasted, and brewed.
Things you can expect during the visit:
Walk through the coffee trees and see the beans growing
Learn the difference between Arabica, Robusta, and Luwak coffee
See traditional roasting done over wood fire
Try free tastings of different coffee and tea blends
Option to try Luwak coffee for an extra charge
Some plantations also grow cocoa, ginger, lemongrass, rosella, turmeric, and other herbs. These are often included in the tasting experience.
Luwak coffee, also known as civet coffee, is one of the most unique and expensive coffees in the world. It is made using beans that have passed through the digestive system of a civet, a small animal that eats the ripest coffee cherries.
The process is explained on-site, and visitors can choose to taste it in a clean and hygienic environment. A cup usually costs between IDR 50,000 to 100,000.
Note that not all travelers are comfortable with this method, and ethical concerns exist around some commercial civet farms. It is best to visit small-scale plantations that treat animals well and allow them to live freely.
