About Munduk Coffee
Munduk Coffee is Munduk Moding Plantation’s onsite speciality coffee producer that crafts one of the finest coffees on the island. It offers guests a unique bean-to-cup experience right on the plantation, with meticulously handpicked coffee beans.
One of the highlights here is undoubtedly its wild luwak coffee, counted among the world’s rarest. Crafted from beans that journey through the digestive tract of luwak (Asian palm civets), these creatures include red coffee beans in their diet alongside ripe fruits like banana, papaya, and at times, bird and chicken. As a result, you will be able to savour a cup of this exceptionally aromatic coffee with no bitter aftertaste!
While the forest area in the premise attracts some luwak, production of this coffee is limited. Besides, Munduk Coffee purchases additional beans from its neighbour to provide small quantities to guests. Munduk Coffee also only produces from wild (not domesticated) luwak, and condemns the practices of caging and force-feeding these animals.
At the aforementioned Coffee Plantation Tour & Munduk Coffee Experience, guests also can take a closer look at how coffee is grown, harvested, dried, cleaned, ground and prepared in the traditional manner. During the harvest season (usually from June to August), you may have the opportunity to observe the onsite processing of coffee cherries!
