Professional coffee knowledge exchange, more coffee bean information, please follow Coffee Workshop (WeChat public account: cafe_style)

Everyone knows that Indonesian Mandheling and Java coffee are world-famous, but many people don't know that Bali also produces coffee.

Bali coffee trees mostly grow in the high mountains at elevations of 1000-2000 meters in the central and northern regions.

Due to the cool and foggy climate in this area, which is perfect for coffee tree growth, Bali's "Golden Coffee" was born.

For someone like me who isn't particularly knowledgeable about coffee, this was the first time I heard that coffee beans have male and female distinctions.

The male beans are relatively complete and larger, while female beans are the half-beans we commonly see, which are more slender.

Because male beans are rarer, their price is also different.

Bali's "Golden Coffee" belongs to fine-ground coffee, with a taste that is neither sour nor astringent, but rather bittersweet, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Bali coffee enjoys the reputation of "Golden Coffee." It combines two major varieties—using Arabica variety coffee trees at the roots, with Robusta coffee branches and leaves grafted on top, which is very special. It has become a must-buy souvenir for many tourists visiting Bali. Besides supermarkets, another way to buy coffee is to go directly to the factory. Not only is the supply fresher, but you can also tour the production process and sample the coffee, helping you better understand and find your favorite flavors.

Golden Rabbits Coffee

Golden Rabbits Coffee is a well-known Indonesian coffee brand. The Golden Rabbits Coffee factory receives 500,000 visitors from around the world each year and produces and sells 200 metric tons of Bali Golden Coffee products annually, making it the leading brand with the largest market share of Bali Golden Coffee beans. Most tourists who come by reputation go directly to the Golden Rabbits Coffee factory in Jimbaran to make purchases; first-time visitors can join guided tours. Regardless of the group size, the factory staff who speak Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean will guide you through the entire Bali Golden Coffee production process—from distinguishing male and female beans, drying, roasting to grinding—with introductions and tours, followed by free tasting in the VIP room or coffee shop on-site.

Golden Rabbits Coffee's beans come from the mountainous areas above 1,000 meters elevation in central and northern Bali. The local climate is cooler, producing beans with better texture, and has always been a renowned coffee-producing region. Additionally, Golden Rabbits selects only mature beans that are over 3 years old, and their production process uses "dry washing" treatment, resulting in a taste that is neither sour nor astringent, with low caffeine content.

Peaberry Coffee

Among these, the male bean peaberry, due to its higher oil content, has a smoother texture. Additionally, its production is small, accounting for only 5-10% of the total. The male beans are oval-shaped, with finer central crevices after roasting, maintaining their original whole bean shape, resembling a gentleman in a suit. The aroma is more intense, and the texture offers a unique flavor. Each bean must be selected by hand, making the male beans even more rare and valuable.

Golden Coffee Female Beans

Female beans have a flatter appearance, with obvious central crevices after roasting. 95% of coffee cherries on a coffee tree are female beans.

Coffee Luwak

Coffee Luwak is the world's most expensive coffee. Coffee Luwak is produced from the feces of the Asian palm civet (a type of musang cat), hence the name "civet coffee." This animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After fermentation in the civet's stomach, proteins are broken down, producing short peptides and more free amino acids, which reduces the coffee's bitterness. The excreted feces then become the main raw material. Since coffee beans cannot be digested, they are excreted, and after washing and roasting, they become civet coffee. Coffee critic Chris Rubin says the wine-like aroma is so rich and intense, while the coffee is unbelievably rich, almost like syrup. Its thickness and chocolate texture linger on the tongue for a long time, with a pure aftertaste.
