Bali Pulina, Tegallang Gianyar — Restaurant in Pulau Bali

We looooved this place. Absolutely stunning. One of the better coffee plantations from other reviews and photos I have seen. And the Civets seemed to be kept in decent conditions. You are greeted with friendly parking staff (no parking fee) who guide you to the entrance where another staff greets you and starts showing you the different coffee plants/trees/pods. They also show you the Civet cages and explain the Luwak coffee process. What I found interesting is that a lot if the plants and trees have little boards labelling them and that was very helpful. After the Civet look about you are guided to another step where another staff member explains the cleaning and roasting process. It's a little hotter here as there is an open fire. But very cool nonetheless ;) then yet another staff member leads you down to the complimentary coffee tasting. You only pay if you want a Luwak tasting and that ia about 50k Rupiah. There is a stunning view of the rice terrace and forrest, with a huge open deck for photos. Then you can find a nice shady spot, get the attention of a hostess and she will bring you a tasting tray of 2 teas and 6 coffees. Be careful, they put a lot of sugar in so if you want sugar seperate, you need to tell them first. They bring one tasting try per table no matter how many people there are. Then you can get your Luwak separately. We didn't feel it tasted that much different, but it is worth trying. Then you can walk down the steps and terraces to where they have a big swing (this will be about 200k Rupiah pp) and they also have a zipline, not sure how much that was. There is also a stunning natural spring water infinity pool, but you need to book about 3 hours in advance, but so amazing. Take some swimming gear! Then you can just stroll through the different viewpoints and enjoy the beauty. There is no entrance fee. So technically you can enjoy all...

This place is located right after Ubud/ Tegalalang rice terrace if you're coming from the south part of Bali. The enterance is free. We went on monday morning so there's not much people around. We did not visit Tegalalang rice terrace as we read review that people go there just to see the rice terrace. We already have rice terrace in our country 😁 so we skip that and we went to Bali Pulina instead. And guess what, they also do have rice terrace here..and some other extras 😉 There's a beautiful deck overlooking the hill rice terrace and a hill resort-all green view. There's also an Instaworthy view swing which you can sit/swing on for 200k. It's very safe (although it's too high for us) they will put harness on you. The staff here are very friendly explaining the flora and plant species in this facility, including the fauna-luwak and they will tell you the process of how the coffee/ luwak coffee here are made from scratch up till it end up in your cup. The staff will tell you the story, not the luwak, ok 😜. The luwaks were sleeping and they awake as soon as the red fresh coffee beans arrive. We get to test their coffee and tea tester for free and these are delicious. If you want luwak coffee that will be 50k per cup, though we did not try that. There's also waterfall and pool at the bottom, but we did not have enough time to go down as we have to leave before lunch time to check out from our hotel in Gianyar. And there's a hanging bridge, this place is good if you want to relax and enjoy green view with some good coffee and company. So if you wanna come I would suggest you depart as soon as possible after the sunrise, and wear a good sport shoes as there will be a little hike up and down the heel. Not suggested to come right after Bali Marathon as you will feel the pain burning on...

Very well maintained place, given that it is like in the middle of some jungle and greeneries. I barely got bitten by any insect while I was there even though normally I'm a mosquito magnet. I'm pretty sure they did a proper insect management there. Good job team.

Toilets were clean. Something I didn't expect at first for a place like that.

A very well run business. Big parking lot.

The very first time you step into the place, there will be some staff ready to bring you for a quick tour. They'll bring you to see luwak (the animal behind the existence of the expensive and internationally renowned Kopi Luwak) first then show you how they process the coffee from the luwak poo until it's ready for grinding. They will also show you the traditional way to process coffee bean (mortar and pestle).

Then you can go down the staircase to go have some coffee or tea and snacks at their cafe. They have coffee taster menu. I think 5 different types of coffee for you to try. Also have something similar for tea / traditional herbal drink where you can try lemon tea, ginger tea, tumeric tea, roselle water and pandan tea.

Their pisang goreng (banana fritters) is authentic and so yummy. Make sure you try it. There is red sugar at the side that you can pour over the banana.

For the tea taster set and small mineral water bottle and banana fritters we spent 120k IDR (12 SGD).

Highly recommend you go to this place when in Ubud!

We trekked a bit when we looked for the natural pool but we could not find it lol 😂 quite an interesting trekking...
