Welcome, fellow travel and food enthusiasts, to a journey of flavours and laughter as we embark on a delightful exploration of the renowned and prized Luwak coffee. Join us as we'll uncover the secrets behind this exotic brew and learn where to savour it in perfect Balinese style.

For those who does not know what Luwak coffee is: 

Luwak coffee, also known as "cat poop coffee" (yes, you read that right!), is a type of coffee that is produced in Indonesia.

This unique brew is a true gift from nature, with a story as fascinating as its flavour. Produced from coffee beans that have been excreted by the Asian palm civet, a small cat-like mammal found in the forests of Bali, the beans are then collected from their feces, cleaned, roasted, and brewed into a delicious cup of coffee.

It might sound gross, but some people swear by the unique and complex flavour of this coffee. They say it has a rich, full-bodied taste with notes of chocolate and caramel, and a distinctive earthy flavour that's hard to find anywhere else. 

However, we do have to acknowledge that not everyone is a fan of the idea of drinking coffee that's been pooped out by a cat!

Not a thing for everyone but, if you're feeling adventurous and want to try something truly unique, Luwak coffee might be just the thing for you!

WHO KNEW THAT A LITTLE CAT POOP COULD LEAD TO SUCH A MEMORABLE AND ENJOYABLE COFFEE EXPERIENCE?

As we stood at the entrance of the Satria Coffee Plantation, a sense of excitement and curiosity washed over us. We had heard tales of the mysterious and exquisite Luwak coffee, and we were eager to finally taste this legendary brew for the first time.

Guided by the warm and welcoming staff, we embarked on a tour of the plantation, learning about the intricate process of coffee production along the way. 

Sitting at a rustic wooden table overlooking the lush greenery of the plantation, we were handed a steaming cup of freshly brewed Luwak coffee, as well as the tea testing, which we certainly had not expected to be free, but it was. 

Finally, the moment arrived - it was time to taste the famed Luwak coffee.

We braced ourselves for the first taste. To my surprise, a symphony of flavours unfolded on the palate - smooth, rich, and… not quite sure if was a positive feeling or not, let me say… strangely satisfying, but it tasted like nature! 

With each swallow, I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all - here I was, willingly drinking coffee that had been... well, you know. But somehow, the novelty of the experience and the deliciousness of the brew overshadowed any reservations we may have had.
