Coffee Plantation Visit

Free tastings of 10–12 local coffees and herbal teas

A coffee plantation (agrowisata) visit is a relaxed, often free stop on the way through Tegallalang or Kintamani. You'll stroll a hillside garden of coffee, cacao and spice plants, see how beans are roasted by hand over a wood fire, and sit down to a tasting tray of 10–12 local coffees and herbal teas — with the famous (and controversial) kopi luwak available to try for a small fee. Many gardens overlook rice terraces or jungle, and there's no obligation to buy anything from the shop.

Visitor FAQ

Is there an entry fee?

Most plantations offer free entry and a free tasting tray; you only pay if you try kopi luwak (around IDR 50,000 a cup) or buy coffee from the shop. Opening hours are usually about 8am to 6pm daily.

Is there pressure to buy?

No — the tasting is genuinely free and there is no obligation to purchase. Shop prices are high, so buy souvenir coffee at a supermarket if you want it cheaper.

Is kopi luwak ethical?

It depends on the farm. Ask whether the civets are wild-sourced or caged before you order, and skip it if you're unsure about the animal welfare.
