Pemulan Bali Coffee Plantation(FREE TASTING) — Restaurant in Pulau Bali

IT'S NOTHING BUT A SCAM!!! There's no coffee or tea plantation to produce what they claim to be their own product. There's just a few bushes of everything. They even put up some show for you presenting how they grind their coffee using a huge muddler and there's one lady roasting coffee beans in a frying pen.(By the way I happened to spot this lady just making a run to the frying pan as she saw us approaching). But once you smell the coffee you quickly realise that it's been standing there for ages, and the coffee beans in the pan is burned beyond recognition. The tea they sell at astronomical price says 100 % organic on the package. Once we opened at our accommodation we realised it was something synthetic stuff mixed with sugar which later was confirmed by our local host. Our guide was constantly pushing us to give him some tip by repeating the story of his sick mom and that he desperately needs money to buy her medicine and that he's not making commission if we buy something (which clearly is a lie as he was staying with us in the shop giving the tea we bought to the cashier and making a note of it.) DO NOT BUY ANYTHING HERE! Such a shame for Bali! And don't believe what the owner says (or whoever the person is who replies here) when he's saying these negative reviews destroy local farmers... Its just a big fat lie!!!! He's selling some artificial powder at an incredible high price claiming it to be something that it isn't and repacking coffee claiming to be his own and selling at double price as anywhere else in Bali. It's called a SCAM. Stay away. And one more thing : avoid anyone approaching you while you are riding ur bike or coming out from Pura Pirta Empul as these guys are part of the scam trying to convince people to go to this place. I wish we have read the reviews before we...

The coffee plantation offers a complimentary tour and tasting experience, allowing visitors to explore the fascinating world of coffee production in Bali. The tour provides valuable insights into the cultivation and processing of coffee beans, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the journey from plant to cup.

During the tasting session, guests have the opportunity to sample various tea and coffee blends and flavors, immersing themselves in the rich aromas and distinct profiles of Bali. This complimentary tasting adds value to the overall experience, allowing visitors to expand their palate and appreciate the nuances of different brews.

However, one aspect of the experience that may give pause to some visitors is the pricing of the tea and coffee available for purchase. While the tour and tasting are free, the cost of buying tea and coffee products can be relatively high. Additionally, some visitors may feel skeptical about the quality of certain products, particularly those made from powdered ingredients.

For example, the powdered tea and coffee offerings may raise concerns among discerning consumers, leading to hesitation in making a purchase. This skepticism is understandable, as powdered products may not always meet the expectations of those seeking authentic and high-quality beverages.

Overall, while Pemulan Bali Coffee Plantation offers an informative and enjoyable tour experience with complimentary tastings, potential visitors should be aware of the pricing and product offerings available for purchase. While the tour itself is free and informative, the decision to buy tea and coffee products may require careful consideration based on individual preferences and...

It’s a scam. After a nice cleansing at the temple, we got recommended this place from a guy in the parking of the temple ( I was feeling really grateful and had my guards down so did not look at the reviews)

First red flag: we arrived and while walking to the main area they showed us «  the plantation » a bunch of young trees garden style.

Second red flag: animals in cages and leaches. I have traveled asia for over 6months and was really upset about this because I do not support animal abuse

Third red flag: we see them mix some powder mixture in the tea and the taste isn’t natural at all ( The « tea » and the normal bali coffee is free)

The luwak coffee that you taste ( 80k a cup lol ) is a real one i guess.

Sooo after paying 350k for 50g of luwak coffee and 120k for 100g of tea ( we asked without sugar because we dont like sweet tea) I arrive home and have this upsetting feeling. I read the reviews on google and realise that my gut feeling is right and we got scammed. We go back the next day, bring back the product and one guy gets super mad of our accusations and open the product infront of us ( after bringing the religion card that they believe in karma (( ohh fourth red flag, religion should never be a tool during a conflict )) his face when he sees the pile of sugar falling from the bag was priceless). we get our refund , because there was other tourist around and the lady at the counter did not want us to make a scene and she knew that they were in the wrong.

Fifth red flag: how the owner respond to the bad reviews.

Ps. we bought 100g of real luwak coffee in ubud for 150k

Safe travels to...
