Historically, coffee came to Indonesia with the Dutch in the early 17th century.

Coffee in Bali is fairly new. It grew and became popular in the early 20s.

These Bali coffees were originally brought by traders from Lombok. Coffee plantations then began to appear in Kintamani quite rapidly.

Thanks to the fertile soil, the plant can grow well, although it is susceptible to disease.

The best coffee that Bali produces is not only grown and picked from trees, there is also the most expensive coffee – Kopi Luwak – which is made from coffee beans that have been digested by civets.

Enough of the history, coffee in Bali is an art and a lifestyle. 

In the tourist areas, there are SO MANY coffee shops serving the best coffees to wake you up, get you your caffeine fix, and energize you.
