Though I am not that much of a coffee lover, after hearing about this civik koffee luwak, my curiosity been growing more and more. Out here in my state in India, it is found in one shop but they sell it for a very very high price which I'll never be able to afford in my life span which is ₹ 5k. But coming to Indonesia, I have to try it first because it's reasonable and fresh should I say? This place I came across on my way back to my homestay. They server along with varieties of other teas and banachips too. The prick here was approx ₹250 something, which when I compare with here was way to cheap and way much better. If you are a coffee lover or not too, I'd suggest one must try it. As its tagged one of the most expensive coffee in the world. There are other varieties of coffee. As I was travelling in budget I tried only the street coffee shops. Our guide was helpfull, and when asked something he’ explained it all in details. The harder was quite huge. And the process of how the coffees made from the fruits till the cup of coffee was kept all in display. I regret not buying the grounded coffee from there. Tips is, you can ask for banana chips refill, because I did too. Asked the guide if I could and he did. Overall the experience was good and worth the money. You...
Read moreWhat a gem! We went there on a whim, and it was one of the highlights of our day.
We were greeted by an extremely pleasant server, who gave us a tour of the grounds, including the different plants used in their coffees, and a cage for the civets (kinda small, though...). Then we were given a coffee/tea tasting of all 12 items on their menu, and we could pay 55K for a cup of luwak coffee. The tasting itself is free, to tempt you into buying from their associated shop.
Worth noting for other westerners who usually drink their coffee bitter: Most things on the menu are served with sugar added. Bring your sweet tooth!
The surroundings are serene and green and beautiful. We could barely hear the road. Lots of mosquitos, but we were given mosquito spray by the server, so it wasn't much of a problem.
Overall, just a great little place. Special shout-out to the server who took his time with us and made it a great,...
Read moreAt the beginning, the waiter welcomes you to the café and explains everything from the very basics. You get to admire every stage of the coffee-making process — from the beans growing on the trees to observing the palm civets that “produce” the finest coffee beans. The waiter explains the entire extraction process, and afterward, you can taste the coffee along with other flavors, making the tasting experience a real pleasure. I had the chance to meet a waiter named Ben, who explained everything to me with great professionalism. The whole experience was an interesting and inspiring way to start the day. I highly...
