The facility processes coffee using the digestive enzymes of the Asian palm civet, locally known as Luwak.
The plantation is located in the Susut district, a region known for cooler temperatures due to its higher elevation compared to coastal Bali.
In addition to coffee, the site cultivates various medicinal plants and exotic spices typical of the Indonesian archipelago.
The location serves as both a production farm and an educational center for visitors interested in organic farming practices.

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes as the plantation paths can be uneven.
Sample the various herbal teas provided, as many are produced using ingredients grown directly on the property.
Bring mosquito repellent, as the humid, garden-heavy environment is prone to insects.
