Bali Agrotourism

Agrotourism Bali is a well-known plantation business on the Bali Island. It is known as a producer of various types of coffee and chocolate, and the most famous is Coffee Luwak. In the past, there were only a few places that produced and sold Coffee Luwak, but now this agro-tourism business has grown rapidly, with many places producing and selling Coffee Luwak, especially along the tourism route. Coffee Luwak Bali has a mellow flavor without a dominant bitterness, with a refreshing touch of fruity acidity. The aftertaste is very clean, leaving no bitterness in the mouth. Because of these unique and complete flavor characteristics, Coffee Luwak is increasingly in demand by tourists visiting Bali.

History of Coffee Luwak

Coffee Luwak has a unique historical background. In the early 18th century, the Dutch established coffee plantations in the Dutch East Indies, including on volcanic islands like Bali. Luwak Arabica coffee, on which Coffee Luwak is based, originated in Bali. In those days, Dutch plantation owners forbade locals to consume their own coffee beans. However, the locals cleverly discovered that Asian palm civets often ate coffee beans. They then collected the beans digested by the civets, cleaned them, sun-dried them, and roasted them to produce coffee with a rich flavor and low acidity. The civet’s digestive process chemically alters the proteins in the beans, resulting in a more complex and subtle flavor not commonly found in regular coffee. Although Coffee Luwak was not very popular initially, the coffee boom happened around 2011-2012 when Luwak coffee plantations became famous through word of mouth and social media. Many entrepreneurs then saw this opportunity and started many coffee plantations along tourist trails frequented by tourists.

Process Making Coffee Luwak

The process of making Bali’s famous Coffee Luwak, is still largely traditional. First of all, the coffee beans are harvested from the coffee plant and then given to the captive animal to eat. After being consumed by the civet, the coffee beans will be removed along with the civet’s feces. The coffee beans that have been removed from the mongoose feces are then collected, cleaned, and dried by drying in the sun. After drying, the coffee beans are roasted until cooked in a prepared pan. This process produces the distinctive aroma of Coffee Luwak, which is famous on the island of Bali. Next, the roasted coffee beans are ground into a fine powder, like regular coffee powder. The luwak coffee powder is then wrapped and ready to be sold to buyers. For coffee lovers, it is very interesting to try Coffee Luwak produced on the island of Bali, given its unique manufacturing process and the fact that it produces a different coffee flavor from ordinary coffee.
