Our local Villa driver recommended this place as part of our day tour. The coffee plantation isn’t too far if you’re residing in Ubud, journey was roughly 15mins give or take with traffic.
The coffee plantation isn’t big, but you get an idea with what goes on once you go inside and employees of the plantation show you around, the types of tree, coffee and the special Luwak coffee.
Once you’ve been shown the Luwak, probably sleeping as the animal is nocturnal, seen the process of getting the coffee bean from the Luwak into your cup, you’re shown your table and given roughly 13 variations of coffee to try, for free! If you want to try the Luwak coffee, is Rp. 50,000 - which works out to roughly £2.75 for a luxury coffee.
Obviously this place will be filled with tourists, so don’t expect the locals to be here, however when you’re given an ample amount of free samples, it makes up for it, plus the on site shop sells the samples of coffee in 100g / 200g bags if you wish to take them home, along with spices and other commodities you may wish to purchase.
The staff on site are very knowledgeable, very friendly and welcoming and not at all pushy if you don’t wish to purchase anything from the shop.
