Shit coffee

Jenny (Yenny Worle, not Schulz) very kindly organised a car with a lovely driver (Kadek) to take us out for the day. At first we were offered a motor bike to ride but without an international driving licence that was a no go (CW very pleased I think). So a car arrived promptly at 10.00.

First stop, Laundry. Then Paddy fields and Batur volcano, before arriving at a lovely small plantation and traditional house. Many many different fruits and spices grown here, as well as tea and coffee. Including, allegedly, the world's most expensive coffee, Kopi Lewak. Ordinary coffee, eaten and shat out by a palm civet! Allegedly the civet enzymes do something special to the coffee. Even though i don't like coffee, we bought some.
And tea, and chocolate - Chilli, dark and milk.

Things grown here include: Coffee (Robusta and ARabica, pineapple, pink bananas, jack fruit, durian, vanilla, cacao, honey (the smallest bees i ever saw), and many other fruits.

Traditional Bali House set out to the points of the compas. Mini temple, kitchen, grandparents house etc all in allotted places. Some trad drumming and full set of tea and coffee tasting.

Must have misunderstood costs of coffee, as bill was hugely more tha expected!Läs mer
