Today's topic Kopi Luwak. I'm sure you've all heard of the coffee bean that some strange cat eats, then shits out, then someone keen enough collects the turds, separates the still intact beans from the 'other stuff', then carries on the roast. Or more accurately and tastefully, something like this.
Anywho, we travelled to one of these such plantations in the pouring rain, so heavy that the unroadworthy van we gambled our lives on was aquaplaning like mad with receding visibility.
Once we arrived, about an hour and a half north of Ubud, we ran like we stole something from the van to this tiny little tin shed for shelter, where there was some bloke roasting the beans in a wok of sorts over hot coals. Very small batch so you get an idea of the operation they are running here.
The coffee itself could be sampled on site (as well as cacao, ginseng tea, tobacco, etc).
Some product...
Sitting here in a tin shed, pouring rain, sampling local tobacco, drinking local coffee, eating local cacao, surrounded by all sorts of content poultry and enclosed by tropical forrest, it must have been one of the best places on earth.
Cacao fruit...
