This coffee was discovered because local workers were forbidden to drink coffee by the stingy Dutch planters at that time. In order to obtain this magical fruit that they had worked hard to grow, they had to find it in the excrement of civet cats. After washing and grinding, they made it into world-class coffee, which was then discovered by the Dutch and became more expensive. Bali, Indonesia's main tourist destination, is often famous for its golden coffee in tourist brochures. In fact, this is the special selection of Indonesian Mandheling coffee, also known as Golden Mandheling. Sumatra, probably free of disease, produces one of the finest coffees in the world, smooth and mellow, heavier in taste and slightly longer in aftertaste than Java, perhaps less delicate than Java, but more ferocious. Buy can recognize the golden butterfly trademark.

There are also plantations in Bali that have been turned into resorts, such as Munduk Moding Plantation, which has been turned into a luxury resort with spa. The resort is close to Bali Central Lake and Munduk Mountain Station, the nearby hills are covered with forests, coffee trees and rice, with charming surroundings and rooms with local characteristics.

The old plantations that survive to this day are now clustered in eastern Java, including Djampit, Blawan, Pancoer, and Kayumas, four plantations that you can visit, all near the Ijen volcano on the Ijen plateau, where the same coffee has been grown since the 18th century. But Java is not Java anymore, and when people talk about Indonesian coffee, they talk more about Sumatra mantnin or, more miraculously, Kopi Luwak, or the legendary civet coffee. Luwak coffee is known as the world's most expensive coffee, mainly produced in Indonesia's Sumatra, Java and other islands, but extremely rare, the civet swallowed the coffee fruit, after a "sad intestine hundred turns", unexpectedly dissolved most of the bitter taste, leaving a more delicious coffee. This kind of divine coffee was only available to Europe at that time, and it had to undergo long-term transportation by sailing ships to make the coffee less acidic and taste better. When shipping was more developed, merchants had to sell it to Europe.

Coffee is stored for years to get better taste, storage also brings higher prices, shoddy, and smuggling of all kinds is common. By the 1880s, Java coffee reached its peak, but the delicate Arabica coffee plants could not escape the plague. A rust disease hit many areas in Java, including Java. Large areas of coffee trees died. At that time, only one tenth of Arabica coffee survived in Indonesia, mostly in Sumatra. The Dutch then brought Africa's stronger Robusta coffee, which was more resistant to pests and diseases but less flavorful than Arabica coffee, and the halo finally left Java.
