It is the most dazzling of Indonesia's more than 13600 islands, located at 8 degrees south of the equator in the Indian Ocean and east of Java. It is 140km wide from east to west and 80km from north to south, with a total area of 5620 square metres. Bali is an Indonesian island, located at the western end of the Little Sunda Islands, roughly diamond-shaped, with an east-west axis. The area is about 5620 square meters and the population is about 3.15 million. The terrain is high in the east and low in the west, with more than 10 volcanic cones running through the mountains. The Argonne volcano in the east is 3142 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak on the island. There is plenty of sunshine, with annual precipitation of about 1500 mm in most areas and about six months in the dry season. The economy is developed, and the population density is second only to Java, ranking second in the country. The residents are mainly Balinese, who believe in Hinduism and are famous for temple architecture, sculpture, painting, music, textiles, song and dance and scenery, and are one of the world's tourist destinations.

BALI faces the Indonesian island of EAST JAVA,INDONESIA across the Bali Strait (BALI STRAIT). This beautiful island has become a world-class tourist resort because of its picturesque scenery and simple folkways. When you walk on the beautiful beach, bathed in the warm Indian Ocean, full of green rainforest and wild flowers everywhere, you will feel extremely relaxed and comfortable. Of course, you can also choose to surf, dive, parachute jump, or climb the foothills of the Jingdamani volcano and volcanic lake scenic area more than 1700 meters above sea level, overlooking the distance volcanic smoke straight into the night while enjoying a comfortable cool breeze. This will be an active and quiet holiday. Why not come and feel it? Traveling in Bali is definitely a very meaningful thing. The garden owner told us that the civets sleep during the day and are active at night. In the dead of night, the breeders would open the cages and let them come out and eat coffee fruits freely. Depending on its extremely keen sense of smell, the civet will choose the most mature and juicy red coffee fruit to eat.

The civet has a pointed mouth and a small head. If you look closely, it looks more like a monkey or masked palm civet. Next to their bodies, a large pool of sticky material on the ground is the raw coffee raw material "cat shit" that has not yet been processed.

Then why can this "cat shit" become a delicious raw material for coffee? The owner took us to the coffee factory and uncovered the secret. It turns out that when the coffee fruit passes through the civets' digestive system, the protein is broken down by stomach acid and enzymes, eliminating the bitterness of the coffee beans. At the same time, it is also contaminated with the "musk" oil in the civets, so the rest are "fine products". The coffee made from this kind of coffee beans is very simple and thick. Ordinary coffee beans can only be brewed once, but they can be brewed three or four times without becoming light, and they give off a chocolate-like fragrance. When we arrived in Bali, it was the height of summer. Cade, the local driver of Ubu, drove us through a large wet and dense primeval forest and finally stopped in front of a coffee plantation.

Indonesia is a country rich in coffee beans, and its output ranks fourth in the world. Bali's unique soil conditions, geographical location and cultivation methods have created a distinctive flavor. The Kopi Luwak Initiative is also one of the national gifts given by the Indonesian government to distinguished guests. Cade said that Bali is currently promoting "green" agriculture, and many local coffee plantations have pulled huge barbed wire ceilings to extract "cat poop" coffee ingredients by semi-stocking musk cats, so as to attract tourists and develop coffee cultivation and tourism industry.

The coffee plantation we visited is located on a hill, the whole hill is covered with coffee trees, and the opposite is a beautiful terraced field. As soon as I entered the garden, I smelled the unique fragrance of tropical plants. In the garden are cacao trees with red and yellow ripe fruits, ginger flowers swaying in the wind, fruitful cinnamon and other tropical spice crops. The rare civets are caged and fast asleep.
