The POOP COFFEE tour, Ubud Bali

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Afternoon steemers,
As any of the non robot followers will remember I have just spent some time in Indonesia. One of the more touristy things I indulged in was a random tour of the Luwak Coffee grounds, this is where they collect the poop from Luwaks that have ingested and digested various species of Coffee. The amazing thing is.... it tastes pretty darn good!

As good as the Coffee was my highlight of the tour was the mini Botanic Garden they had on display with most of the plant species being labelled with both common and scientific names! And......so many of the plants are from Australia!
I not only love this because, as you know I am a massive plant nerd but it also saves me a lot of typing....... So here are some plants from the tour.

the other species of Coffea they had was arabica but the photo was even worse than these so I chose to discard it.

Our guide was a pretty cool character!

This part of the menu was free with herbal teas and non animal digested Coffee.

This part cost around $15aud and was enough to share between two people.

Happy gardening,

I hear so many things about Indonesia and Bali in particular, that I'm gonna have to visit it sooner or later... haven't been to SE Asia so far, but it's definitely in the plans... I just need some funds :D

Se Asia is pretty darn good from what I've seen...... Do it :-)
