Coffee Plantation, Bali 3.4

I decided against going to the third scheduled waterfall, instead my driver suggested to visit a coffee plantation. I‘m glad he did. The one he picked (don‘t know a lot about the others), offered a free tour of what they were growing and doing there. Arabica and Robusta, Cocoa beans and tea ingredients. They also had civet cats that - as I understand it - live alone in cages for a duration of two days and then get exchanged for another one so the special beans for Luwak coffee can be harvested without too much cage time by an individual civet cat… After the short tour, I was led to the terrace with quite the view. Shortly after, I was given a tray with various teas and coffees that are commonly grown and served in Bali. Not being a huge fan of coffee (I think coffee is a good idea, but in practice, this remains a theoretical statement), I was pleasantly surprised by all those that were served with milked and had some sweetness to them. Especially the avocado coffee caught the attention of my tastebuds. As for the tea, all of them were great, however, the ginger tea was delightfully spicy! Never had that before with common ginger tea.
Last but not least, I went out for dinner again. Had a nice little chat with the staff there and another excellent meal. Balinese tapas, a chocolate/banana smoothie and black hot porridge with cinnamon and banana.Read more
