Bali's cool highlands are perfect for coffee. Along the road from Ubud to Kintamani, and around Munduk, gardens offer short tours and tastings. Here's a guide that's fun and responsible.

Travel times are estimates. Free tastings are usually small cups; packaged coffee prices vary by place.

Kopi luwak, ethically

  • Ask where the beans come from: wild civets or caged ones.
  • Avoid places that display civets in small cages for photos.
  • Kintamani arabica is a signature Bali coffee that doesn't rely on civets.
  • Buy from places with clear labels that are open about their process.

Pair a coffee stop with the Mount Batur view in Kintamani in the morning, before the mist rolls in.
