Frequently Asked Questions

Is kopi luwak coffee ethical to try?

Much commercial kopi luwak comes from caged civets in poor welfare conditions; ethically sourced wild-collected versions exist but are difficult to verify at plantation tours.

What is a Bali coffee plantation tour like?

Most tours include a walk through the growing area, an explanation of the roasting process, and a tasting session covering multiple coffee and tea varieties.

Is Indonesian coffee different from coffee elsewhere in Southeast Asia?

Yes, Indonesia's volcanic soil and specific bean varieties give its coffee a distinct earthy, full-bodied flavour profile compared to neighbouring countries.
