Witer is zunre Kafi Plantage gange. D Iheimisch, wo üs begleitet het, het üs ganz viel Pflanzene zeigt. Unter anderem de Zimtbaum, d Vanille aber au Ingwer und Kurkuma Pflanzene. Sie het sehr viel über die verzellt, wenns riif sind, wenns gerntet werdet und teils hemmer sogar dörfe probiere. De Remo isch meega glücklich gsi, wos e gelbi, riifi Kakaofrucht gseh hend und er sie denn het dörfe probiere.

Womer denn ame Chäfig verbi glaufe sind, het üs üsi Begleitig gseit, dass die Tier Luwak heisset, au bekannt als Kafichatz. Die Tier fresset d Kafibeeri weg de süesse Frucht um d Bohne rund ume. Da sie d Bohne selber nöd chönd verdaue, wird die irgendwenn wieder ganze use cho. Die sammlets denn, tüends wäsche und schlussentli röste.

Am Schluss vo dere Tour hend mer denn no e Kafi & Tee Degustation dörfe mache und hend unter anderem au de Luwak Kopi probiert.

Noch dere Plantage hemmer denn no en Stop ime Tempel gmacht, wo aber im Verglich zum Wassertempel nöd annähernd so schön gsi isch. Drum simmer au recht zügig dure glaufe und witer gange.

Schlussentli simmer denn im Hotel acho, hend icheckt und üses Zimmer bezoge. Au do simmer wieder überwältigt, wie schön Hotels sii chönd. De restlich Tag hend mer demit verbrocht zum üses Quartier no chli azluege. Mer sind no fein go esse und schlussentli sehr k.o is Bett glege.

Our next stop was at a Coffee farm we we got welcomed by a local. She showed us a large viarity of diffrent plants. Starting with a cinamon tree but also some vanilla plants or diffrent kinds of ginger, curcuma and of course coffee . She told us a lot about when the plants are ripe, what parts to use and we were even able to try some. Remo was were happy when he was allowed to pick a ripe, yellow cocoa fruit from the tree and we were able to try it again.

When we passed by a cage the guide told us that this animal is called Luwak also known as coffee cat. This animal eats the best coffee beans only due to the sweet flavour of their pulp. But it can't digest the bean itself thats why the come out again. They collect those beans clean and roast them to make coffee out of it.

At the end of the tour we where able to try some teas and coffees they produce:

Mangosteen: very fruity, intense
Rosella: slightly bitter tast of citrus
Herbal: curcuma
Lemongras: like expected
Red ginger: intense and very spicy
Ginger: still spicy

Cocoa: a full load of cocoa
Moca: like the mocca ice cream
Ginger: a warming coffee, not spicy at all
Vanilla: awesome, very nice
Avocado: tastes a bit like banana
Ginseng: herbal ginseng like
Pandan: tastes a bit like chai tea
Coconut: very coconuty

Luwak Coffee: very smooth taste of coffee
Bali Coffee: very strong and herbal taste of coffee

The last stop of ouf day tour was anothere temple near Ubud. This one wasnt nearly as beautiful as the one at the lake we did before. So we have go through that one at a bit a faster pace and did not stay there for too long.

A bit overwelmed by all the things we have seen to today we then reached our hotel in Ubud, checked in and got into our room. In the evening we walked through the streets nearby to look at some shops. We then had a nice dinner in a restaurant before we finally fell into our beds quite exhauted from another busy day.Weiterlesen
