- WHITNEY B15 contributionsPerfect morning activity whether you're hooked on coffee or notThis visit was a really memorable and peaceful morning activity. The guide was so welcoming and kind, and I was impressed by the generosity of many free tastings of teas and coffees. I learned a lot and enjoyed seeing how different local plants grow. The view was also really pretty and I went on the swing where the guys took many, professional-level pics and videos of me as part of the swing price. As opposed to similar nearby tourist traps, this place felt more authentic and was not busy. Go visit!Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 3 October 2023
- Perthgal2010Vientiane, Laos256 contributionsOf course Coffee!!Interesting place, the plants are named as you walk down to the shop, they have a lewak there too, the amount of specialty coffees was unbelievable. Ours was a quick stop to get some coffee beans but they also had it ready ground to take home. Would've liked to explore a bit more but time was against us that day.Visited January 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 21 January 2024

They also have a large variety of teas to choose from. They let you sample 3 teas or coffees. It was nice trying the different teas. The teas are very good!

- Ron B5 contributionsA Lesson LearnedA Cautionary Tale: our guide took us there. The tour and tasting were terrific. We bought a ton of their products at the showroom. A few weeks later we opened a box of the Avocado coffee and were shocked to see how little coffee there was. We went on Trip Advisor and read a number of reviews re being scammed there. We determined to go back and demand a full refund, which we did. After confronting the top person at the store she said that the avocado product was 80% avocado, 10% sugar, and 10% coffee (which should be labeled) but insisted the other products had much higher percentage of coffee. To prove it they opened a package off the shelf of Ginger Coffee and sure enough it was good coffee. Only the Avocado coffee and teas were deficient in coffee. Lesson learned. We went in all righteous and fired up. I should have noted that the vast majority of TA reviews were highly positive and not prejudged so strongly. We didn’t open other boxes of product to test because we planned on returning everything. If we had we’d have discovered that the other products were fine. Yes, the boxes should be better labeled. Yes, they apparently charge more then many other coffee “plantations.” But scam? Most definitely not. Check your facts thoroughly before writing negative, accusative reviews! We learned a good, humbling lesson.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 15 March 2024

The samples of tea or coffee you get was a great experience. They do sell their product there which are actually quite expensive.

- donna k1 contributionDelicious cat poo coffee- who’d have thought it!!!! Fantastic experience from start to finish.The lithe tour we had was fabulous from start to finish. So many fantastic plants and views to see. Our children, boys 10 and 11, very much enjoyed seeing the vegetation and different things growing and how they look before they see it as they know it. The place itself is well kept and they have excellent guides who take you through the coffee journey from bean to cup. We got to see the famous luwak cat and the more important ‘poo’ After a very informative tour they give you a huge selection of teas and coffees to try, and for the kids amazing hot chocolate - boys quoting ‘best they’d ever had!’ All teas and coffee are made on sight and have explanation of how they benefit you. My husband tried the ‘cat poo coffee’ and says it was smooth and delicious, so a must try The whole experience is free which is excellent, then you have opportunity to buy in the shop, which of course we did. Would thoroughly recommend the experience and tasting the famous coffee.Visited July 2024Travelled with familyWritten 31 July 2024
- gomastroGreenock, United Kingdom226 contributionsLovely teasThe 'tour' takes 5 minutes with lots of tea and coffee to taste at the end. As coffee drinkers were were keen to buy some but ended up leaving with several different teas. We tried them when we returned home and to our surprise they tasted as good as they did when we tasted them at the plantation which often isn't the case. I would say the tea is a powder and while not as sweet as when we tasted it at the plantation (the teas were very sweet) it is sweeter than we would normally take our tea.Visited September 2024Travelled with familyWritten 22 September 2024

This is a tourist trap. It’s most unlikely it is even a coffee plantation or do any of their own processing or roasting. There were scattered plants of random native fruit trees and robustas coffee plants but no arabica in sight. 1st red flag. Everyone is assigned a personal guide to explain about the Luwak cats, their harvesting methods and traditional roasting. It is very scenic and beautiful with the valley and vegetation surrounding you but don’t let this fool you, calling this a plantation is a real stretch. I didn’t see more than 5 coffee plants and less than 10 cats in total. There’s no way they would be able to produce anything on a commercial level supplying the souvenir store with their product. This place is more for taking pictures (swing and nest extra$)and Instagramming your experience, and I’m almost 100% sure tour companies and drivers get a kick back from bringing in visitors. The biggest joke of all was their free samples of coffee. Everything tasted like heavily sugared watered down instant coffee. Worst than tassimo or any of those junk coffee pods. If you want good coffee or maybe just decent coffee, there are plenty, PLENTY of wonderful espresso bars all over Ubud that take coffee seriously. I ended up purchasing the avocado coffee and dark chocolate out of guilt for the free tour and samples they provided us. Upon arriving home, I opened up both products to try. Neither product was edible. The coffee had specks of instant coffee granules in a mountain of powdered creamer and the chocolate tasted nothing like chocolate, more like a bar of palm oil. Also both products did not list their ingredients. Red flag #2. I would have been so embarrassed had I gifted these as souvenirs. Everything in their store was astronomically over inflated, I feel duped and cheated.

We wished we had read the reviews before we were brought here because we would have skipped this.
When we arrived we were immediately met by a guide who gave us a whistle stop tour of various plants in this tiny garden. She pointed out a couple of quite young looking coffee trees which we thought odd; given we were supposed to be in a coffee plantation we expected to see many more coffee trees, and mature ones, for the amount of coffee being produced and sold.
The tour ended at a cage with a couple of civets: one was pacing manically while the other was asleep - these are nocturnal animals and it was the middle of the day! This made us feel very uncomfortable and suspicious about the place.
We were then shown to a table and presented with a tray of assorted teas and coffees. Everything tasted of too much sugar - the coffee was milky. We paid 50k IDR to sample the Luwak coffee which wasn’t really that great to justify the price tag.
The worst part of this experience was the shop that you are made to walk through in order to exit: 1) none of the food items had ingredients listed; 2) we noticed some of the boxes had written on them “less sugar” so we asked for tea without sugar at which point the guide appeared uncomfortable and said we don’t have and walked away from us. This part made the whole experience feel like an elaborate scam. Given other reviewers have described exactly the same, I’m more convinced that this is a TOURIST TRAP and a SCAM. I can’t understand the glowing reviews.

I visited the plantation onky because the driver that we rebted added it into our Day plan, So did not mind it as it was suppsed to be Just an additional stop. The whole experinece was ok until i first bought teas and Coffee there and then realized how Overpriced luwak Coffee they sell. They sell a pack of 250g at 1.1mln where you can buy it at the Airport for not more than 400k idr. The second disappointment was at home when we finally opened the packets and realized that the teas consists of powder- a mixture of sugar and flavour. Really disappoiting. I spent ca. 130 EUR and feel like an idiot. Do n o t make the same mistakes. Do not buy there anything.

Our local Villa driver recommended this place as part of our day tour. The coffee plantation isn’t too far if you’re residing in Ubud, journey was roughly 15mins give or take with traffic.
The coffee plantation isn’t big, but you get an idea with what goes on once you go inside and employees of the plantation show you around, the types of tree, coffee and the special Luwak coffee.
Once you’ve been shown the Luwak, probably sleeping as the animal is nocturnal, seen the process of getting the coffee bean from the Luwak into your cup, you’re shown your table and given roughly 13 variations of coffee to try, for free! If you want to try the Luwak coffee, is Rp. 50,000 - which works out to roughly £2.75 for a luxury coffee.
Obviously this place will be filled with tourists, so don’t expect the locals to be here, however when you’re given an ample amount of free samples, it makes up for it, plus the on site shop sells the samples of coffee in 100g / 200g bags if you wish to take them home, along with spices and other commodities you may wish to purchase.
The staff on site are very knowledgeable, very friendly and welcoming and not at all pushy if you don’t wish to purchase anything from the shop.

The tour was decent and the lady that works there was friendly, and you get a lot of free coffee and tea to try, that’s the only reason I can’t give a one star. Besides that, I honestly think all of the coffee is fake. There are very little coffee plantations and the place is very small. Also it was very disappointing to find out that the coffee we bought has nothing to do with the coffee we tried there, and it is VERY expensive! It is just a mixture of very average coffee mixed with a lot of sugar, and the 2 spoons per 150ml is not even closely enough. Oh yea, I should probably mention you can get it for way cheaper anywhere in Ubud.
Very bad tourist trap, don’t go there!!! (Or at least DO NOT BUY ANYTHING, you can go there just to try some coffee for free if you wish!)

... Other than that this place is a Must to visit.
Not just a tea and coffee plantation tourist centre but one with a difference!
Allegedly £75 a cup in some London venues you could be quite correct in calling it crxp. It's that coffee made from the coffee beans eaten by a local furry critter, passed, separated, skin removed and then called the rarest coffee in the world.
After free tastes of 13 of their coffees, teas and hot chocolates, I had no qualms about spending a couple of pounds on this, £73 well saved. So mild as to be bland. Obviously personal taste.
A great place and great staff with great t shirts.

I had a deeply disappointing experience at Satria Coffee Plantation. This place is a blatant tourist trap, designed to lure in unsuspecting visitors and take advantage of them. The vendors might seem friendly, but it’s all part of the ploy to get tourists to spend as much as possible.
The coffee tasting setup feels staged, with the main aim being to pressure guests into buying overpriced products. They barely give you time to ask questions, constantly pushing you to purchase without explaining the high prices or quality differences. The whole experience feels insincere and entirely geared toward draining your wallet rather than providing any real insight into Balinese coffee or culture.
If you’re looking for an authentic experience, skip Satria Coffee Plantation.

I recently had a highly disappointing experience at Satria Luwak Coffee, and I feel compelled to share my experience to warn others. Upon visiting the shop, we were quickly ushered to a nearby "plantation" which turned out to be nothing more than a short and deceptive look around. This was the first red flag.
We were approached by a staff member who convinced us to purchase 680,000IRP worth of tea, assuring us that it complied with airport customs and advising us to keep the packaging intact. Trusting their word, we eagerly brought the tea back home to Sydney.
To our utter dismay, upon opening the packages, we discovered that the tea we had purchased was nothing more than bags of ground-up sugar and the 'organic chocolate bar' was nothing more than cheap cooking chocolate. It was a complete scam! The deception and dishonesty displayed by Satria Luwak Coffee is truly disheartening.
Not only did we waste a significant amount of money on a product that was falsely advertised, but we also feel cheated and taken advantage of. The fact that the staff member assured us of the tea's authenticity and compliance with customs regulations only adds insult to injury.
I strongly advise against visiting Satria Luwak Coffee and falling victim to their deceptive practices. It is clear that they prioritize making a quick profit over providing genuine products and honest customer service. Save your money and avoid this establishment at all costs.
I hope that by sharing my experience, others can be spared from the disappointment and frustration that I have endured.

It was informative and clean for tourists.
But you do not see the "real" plantation. So the production of coffee is described, but this they do professional (for tourists).
You get a free coffee and tea tasting. And you can have a Luwak coffee (kopi) for 50rpi.
This is all good.
Ok, you see two luwaks in a cage sleeping...
I cannot tell how these animals are treated in the farm. But what we read in the internet in general is, that it is not good to support that industry, concerning the well-being of these animals.
What is not so good are the prices in the shop.
Immediately after the show you go through that. You are really not forced to buy something.
And you shouldn't (specially for the Luwak coffee)!
You can find that coffee as retail product in every other bigger supermarket for 30% of the price.

This was one of the highlights of our time in Bali!
You start the tour looking at the different plants that create the fruit and get too see the Luwak which is the animal that ferments the coffee bean through digestion. The guide explains the process of creating the famous Luwak coffee & you can roast some of the beans yourself!
You then get to try the different teas and coffees that they create at the plantation for free. It was here that we chatted to one of the guides about the life in Bali, the importance of tourism, and just the wonderful customs and traditions the Balinese people have. Ayun was truly amazing and open about sharing her experience and we learnt so much.
We would 100% recommend asking your tour guide to take you here. The tea and coffee was delicious, and the whole experience was enjoyable!

Hello -- I tried to send an email to the email address from their website, but it bounced. We are looking to take a guided walk around the jungle plantation to learn more about the production process and then try Luwak coffee and a few other products. That being said, I have a few questions:
1) Is the plantation still open for visitors?
2) What would it cost to take a tour and taste some of the products including the Luwak coffee?
3) Is this something we need to book in advance or can we just show up and expect to get in?
Thanks!!

This place had 3 lewaks in cages without any natural environments, they are nocturnal and they were trying to sleep on the floor of the cage. They had 1 very drugged lewak in gift shop which was just in a basket for tourists to poke and prod. Was very sad to see. I didn't take photos because I was too sad to see it like that.
