So my friend and I booked a half day tour to visit some of the local attractions in Ubud. Initially the tour consisted of four specific location which the coffee plantation was one. We requested to swap out the coffee plantation site for another but our driver insisted on it. He convinced us to go. We got there and we were quite impressed with the view of the greenery and variety of plants. There were some luwaks in cages with a sign stating that they release them back into the wild every week. (Which I now do not believe at all). We got some free samples and were pleasantly surprised with the taste of everything. When we got to the souvenir shop I was shocked by the prices. It was generally 150-210 k IDR. We didn’t know any better and were under the impression that it was exclusive to the plantation where we were. We spent approximately 2milion collectively in the gift shop. We I got home is when I took time to do some research on the place and products and after that I immediately knew we were scammed and lied to. We looked on the maps and saw that there were actually several plantations in the district which have the same practices. The Satria plantation our drive took us to was quite a distance from our accommodation (At the end he charged us extra cause our tour went over the specified time) We went to the mall in Kuta and found the exact same things we bought for a third of what we paid (with better packaging too). We still at this point hadn’t opened any other products. Opening the coffee we found that it’s a pre-mixed instant coffee with creamer and sugar and that is also for the tea. The essential oils are not oils just fragrance /perfumes. The coffee plantation is nice to see but DO NOT buy anything there if you care to use your money wisely during your stay in Bali. Beware of the tour guides as they will insist on taking you to place where they receive commission for bringing visitors or they’d even bring you to friends or family members of there’s who have a specific craft business also

Fake products. We bought datk chocolate (store say 70% cocoa) and tea. I opened the chocolate bar shortly after the visit and found out it taste like a cheap oily chocolate. Then when we arrived at our hotel i wanted to try the tea and found it was just a koolaid type of mixture with no apparent tea in it. The only good part to this story is that the tasting experience before is actually real product that are good. It is clearly designed to lure you into buying products but they do it in a scammy fashion which is bad for the reputation of the tour drivers who bring their clients there and send a bad message to tourist about Indonesia. Improve your business practice, this won't payback long term.

This was a nice experience overall. Very friendly people and the place is well kept. And I can even be angry about falling for the dumbest tourist trap. I really am at fault for buying tea and coffee containing 75% sugar. Mind you, the teas and coffees were about €8 -€9 a package and the luwak coffee about €91 for 250 grams. So shame on us for being gullible. I’m afraid to even open the luwak coffee after tasting the “cheaper” ones 🤣

Two stars for the tastings which were quite nice. The tour was a small area of plantings coupled with some viewings of beans and a lady roasting beans. The reason for the low review is the ridiculously overpriced shop. I come from a place where it’s very expensive to live, and I was still taken aback by the prices of the items in the shop. I only bought a block of chocolate, as I felt I should buy something in return for the tastings. Other reviews indicate the items like tea aren’t good quality. Please don’t buy at these prices. This sort of tourist trap leaves a bad impression of Bali. It feels like a scam. If I’d done my research before going on my day tour I’d have chosen a different coffee place to visit.

The place looks amazing and the guide explained the various spices, herbs and other medicinal plants in their garden. It's certainly not a farm. And there are two caged animals, supposedly eating the coffee beans that are used for the coffee. The tasting was lovely with great views and we had a lovely guide explaining them all. Nice to relax. Bought a few teas and when we came home there are no instructions and ingredients in the packet. When we opened the packets, it has nothing but sugar, with a flavour. Poor quality and certainly not organic. The chocolate bars are by far the best and makes a nice hot chocolate. My recommendation is to not go there if you're an animal lover, as the animals are not happy. Also do not buy anything as you are served with the 'real deal' during tasting and you come home with flavoured sugar. Best to make it all at home yourself or buy proper tea from organic stores.
