Jan 02nd, 2009: Kintamani Visit

We traveled to Bali early this year to visit some of the coffee maker area. On Jan 2nd, we went to one of the most popular agriculture tourism place. The place is in Kintamani area which is the volcano high land in Bali. On the spot they traditionally roast the coffee using the frying-pan.

This method of roasting coffee is consider as the most traditional way and yet still being used in this tourism agriculture site to produce the coffee and sell it to tourist. They call it as Authentic Bali Coffee.

Actually when we was there, we experience the taste of this coffee on the spot. They also provided other taster of their product like Cocoa, Ginger Coffee, Lemon Grass tea. As we taste their authentic roasted coffee, the aroma was not very strong, and acidity level also low.

One of the attraction on this site is while you tasting the coffee you also can feel the nature around you. The location is perfect for relaxing and chit-chatting while tasting the coffee they provided. On the so-called forest, they also have some coffee tree.

For sure the coffee fruit you see above was still young and still have a way to go for to grow until the coffee can be harvested.

It was a nice place to have the coffee.
