We visited this coffee plantation where they keep civets in cages and let them eat on coffee beans. The pits of the bean which is the coffee, are passed through the digestive tract of the civet and then collected by workers, cleaned, and roasted. It was amazing to watch the entire process done by the workers. We tasted some of the coffee and it wasn't too bad. We even bought a small bag of it which cost $35.00 USA.

Testing some kind of teas and coffee for free but not for luwak coffee for sure. The plantation is pretty small just look like a display/not a real farm. One of nice feature is a stuff they used for boiling the water.

I love coffee and here they give you free coffee in heaps of tiny glass teacups. However they're not all coffee, some are ginger, lemongrass and flowers - and they're all filled up with sugar. Lots of sugar. Funnily enough the Balinese coffee is very bitter and they don't put any sugar in it. They sell all the coffees in their super store (which is conveniently located directly behind the sitting area) and caters for sizeable western retiree wallets. Have a cat-poo-chino. May as well. Comes in a cool water pipe. For the reviewers who had a terrible time; if I had a shoddy tour guide this experience may have felt like a tourist trap, so I'd recommend Eco Cycle Tours; we learnt a lot about the coffee making process and the Asian palm civet.

The coffee tasted delicious but the housing of the animals ruined the experience. A free range farm would encourage a lot more tourism and also raise profits.
just a thought.

We tried samples of delicious coffee and teas, except the Luwak coffee (Kopi Luwak) which we chose to avoid as a great deal of cruelty and exploitation of these beautiful animals has been reported due to this industry.
This experience was enjoyable until we came across the precious Luwak that were kept imprisoned in small cages. You could see their eyes had the look of hopelessness. So very sad to see. It was upsetting and took away from what would have otherwise been a lovely experience. I'm sure the majority of tourists would like to know they have been set free to live out their lives in their natural environment and would feel more inclined to support a business that is not only organic but ethical and compassionate.

Ask our guide to stop for a luwak coffee. He pulled over here, we were lead down a little path to a forest. The lady explained all the different plants that were growing and how the luwak coffee is made. Then we got a taste of all the the different teas and coffees they make. Amazing all of them so good in their own way. There were heaps of tea also so even if you don't like coffee make the stop. Oh did i mention its free? There is only a charge if you want to try the luwak or take coffee home. The "luwak coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world".... at $6nzd a cup tho it is well worth it.

This was a sheer waste of time - the guide took us around a small compound with one wilting coffee stem (not even a bush), one wilting cocoa seedling, one dying banana stump, one weak cocoa plant , etc. And then the sad part - locked up civets , monkeys, porcupine, etc. Women roasting coffee in a small shed, poorly made posters & then a coffee sampling table & sales counter. Very basic & unprofessional. Not worth your time.

I was recommended going here by a friend to get him some new stock of a tea he found here, and I am glad i went! The place is so quiet and the staff very friendly. being able to see the way they process not only the coffee, but the tea as well. It is only a small place but well worth the visit.

We got dropped off here by our day taxi driver who suggested we go (as I am English and like coffee!). We were greeted (as in most places in Bali) by an entuastic worker who showed us around the coffee plants and various trees, seeds and fruits and explained how they made them into the coffee products we love! We were also shown the civets that make the Luwak coffee and they did look a little sad/bored in their cages I have to say but appeared to be fed well. We got to try all the coffee (Luwak coffee is not free to try by the way) and teas and they were all delicious. The coffees/teas are all on sale and they are quite expensive but worth the money. This is a nice visit and unique experience that is a bit different from the usual tourist attractions so I would recommend it to any visiting this area.
And for those returning through customs we managed to get the Luwak coffee, other coffee and tea through Australia and New Zealand customs without trouble so don't worry about it being confiscated just declare it and you will be fine!

In our driver's seatback pocket was a sheaf of brochures about, among other attractions, the lewak coffee plantations in Bali. The lewak, or civet cat, loves coffee berries so much that its excrement emerges filled with undigested beans. The coffee farmers scoop up this stuff; cleanse it thoroughly, thank God; roast it; and produce a coffee so richly flavorful that it puts all other Indonesian coffee to shame. A cup costs 50,000 rupiah ($5), due to the elaborate processing it must go through. Of course I had to have some, and our driver was glad to oblige.
This lewak plantation proved to be the most interesting event of our trip. In a small forest, hosted by an eloquently English-speaking guide, we learned all about lewak kopi processing and watched a woman stir a wok full of beans over a wood fire, to demonstrate how they are traditionally roasted.
Afterward, we sampled 6 different coffees and teas, and I had my lewak coffee, which was outstanding.
The brochure had shown photos of happy tourists cuddling, draped with, and balancing civet cats atop their caps. The only such creature we saw was caged. Our driver pretended to toy with it by sticking his finger in the cage, because, being nocturnal, it was fast asleep.
It seems that tourists are no longer allowed to handle them because they tend to bite. The ones in the brochure must have been sedated.
