BALI 2014 - DAY 03 - PART 03 - DOMBA COFFEE

Ok, saya sambung semula updating our Bali trip photos lepas 'On Pause' due to puasa & Raya :).

Note:

This and the rest of the coming Bali entries will on auto mode. Wife and I will be away for about 2 weeks. So do leave your comments if you like and insyaAllah I will reply when I'm back :)

Meanwhile, kawan2 semua take care ok.

Not really coffee drinkers ourselves, I suppose one might understand why we were a bit reluctant to go to a coffee factory bila Pak Wayan suggested. Oh why not kan. We have ample time and moreover we had never visited a coffee factory. But then we got quite excited when we were informed that this particular coffee factory produces the Luwak Coffee, one of the most expensive coffee in the world!

Dan kami dibawa Pak Wayan dan Pak Agung ke Domba Coffee. Domba Coffee adalah sebuah perusahaan kopi yg tidak terletak di dalam ladang kopi. It is in Kuta. Ladangnya dekat2 area Tanah Lot.

Terpapar gambar2 yg menarik about coffee in general.

Kami disambut petugas Domba Coffee pagi itu bernama Andi. Penerangan dan informasi yg diberi Andi pada kami saya dapati begitu menarik.Tak pernah tahu pun sebelum ni byk process yg terlibat untuk menghasilkan secawan kopi.

Kopi ni rupanya ader jantan dan betina. Bagaimana nak tahu? Menurut Andi, yg jantan biji kopinya bulat dan yg betina bijinya terbelah. OOoooo.....

Kopi jantan lagi mahal kerana dalam 100% cuma 3% ialah kopi jantan. Plus kopi jantan ni rendah caffeine.

Ramai yg tahu kopi Luwak ni antara kopi termahal di dunia. Kenapa mahal sgt? Sebab susah nak dapat.

Kopi Luwak boleh didapati dari secara liar atau farming. Musang Luwak akan pilih buah kopi yg matang sahaja. Makan isinya dan poop out the biji dengan najis. Najis dikutip dan biji kopi dibersihkan lalu diproses jadi kopi luwak.

Yg farmed Luwak pulak dari musang2 luwak yg dibela. Musang2 comel tu akan dibiar kelaparan selama 2 hari or more [kesiannya!] lepas tu baru diberi makan buah kopi. Jadinya perut musang2 luwak tu dah 'bersih' dan najisnya juga cuma dari makan buah kopi. Kalau tak silap harga kopi luwak ni boleh sampai RM800 untuk 100 gm.

Kopi luwak cuma ader di 3 pulau Indonesia [see map below].

Ini farmed luwak coffee.

Dan yg ni wild luwak coffee.

According to Andi, nak dapatkan kopi luwak byk ni ambil masa 7 tahun!

Para pekerja Domba Coffee sedang memilih2 biji kopi.

Ni bahagian packaging. Oooo.... the smell of freshly ground coffee sangatlah harummmm..... :)

Then on to the coffee tasting. Nice room with lots of notes on the wall written by visitors.

Bau harum sedap kopi lagi kuat dalam bilik ni sebab the staff are brewing a pot of coffee :)

SubhanAllah, let me tell you lah... sedap sungguh kopi tu! Yg dihidangkan ialah kopi jantan. So kami pun sip slow2 very appreciatively sebab ni kan kopi mahal...hihi....

Sebab sedap kami pun belilah beberapa paket. Harga about RM70.00 per paket [which is 8oz or 0.5 lb - diaorg ni tak pakai metric]. That's about 200++ gram. And we requested that the beans be finely grounded. Ye la kan, mana la kat rumah ader mesin kisar biji kopi...hihi...

And ni bahagian emporium factory tu. So many variety of coffee and chocolate drinks.

All in all it was an unexpectedly fun and interesting visit. Ok la, tak sampai sejam pun kami di situ. Siap belanja ratus2 lagi padahal tak de pun plan nak shopping kat Bali ni. Tu 'terpakai' duit emergency tu...hihi...
