AJ Koffie Farm Tour: From Seed to Cup

Discover where Bali’s finest coffee begins.
Walk through our living farm in Landih, Kintamani — where every coffee cherry tells a story of sustainability, craftsmanship, and care.

1. Where Coffee Begin

Grafting for Strength & Quality
Every great coffee starts at the root. We use a technique called grafting — combining the strong roots of healthy trees with the best shoots from our finest Kintamani coffee.
It’s like giving our coffee a super-strong foundation for years of great harvests.

Our newest coffee trees are now growing in our South Garden, planted in 2023 — the next generation of Bali’s finest beans.

2. Pruning for Growth

Healthy trees make better coffee. Regular pruning helps shape the tree, manage growth, and ensure that every branch gets sunlight and air.
It’s a simple “haircut” that makes a big difference for long-term coffee quality.

Pruning benefits:

  • Stronger trunks & branches

  • Even nutrient flow

  • Balanced shape for easy harvesting

  • Healthier cherries & fewer diseases

3. Our Farming Philosophy: Keeping It Green

At AJ Koffie, sustainability is a promise, not a trend.
We care deeply for the land, the water, and the life around us.

Our 5 Green Commitments:

  1. 🌿 Organic Farming – No chemicals, ever.

  2. 💧 Rain & Mountain Water – Naturally pure and clean.

  3. ☀️ Solar Power – 4,000 watts of clean energy.

  4. 🌳 Biodiversity First – Native trees protect soil and pollinators.

  5. 🦠 Healthy Soil Microbes – Living soil for living coffee.

Every bean we grow reflects the ecosystem it came from — balanced, alive, and sustainable.

4. Harvest Season: Selective Picking

Between April and August, the farm turns red with ripening cherries.
We harvest by selective hand-picking, choosing only the perfectly ripe cherries.
Unripe or overripe ones stay on the tree — because precision is what defines quality.

💡 Fun fact:
Our free-ranging Luwak instinctively pick the same perfect cherries — nature’s own coffee sorters!

5. Post-Harvest Magic

After harvest, the coffee goes through our pulped natural (honey) process, which enhances sweetness while saving water.

Inside our solar dryer, a climate control system ensures the perfect temperature and humidity — keeping every bean safe from Bali’s rain while drying evenly.

We also experiment with:

  • Washed Process – bright acidity & clean taste

  • Natural Process – full body & fruity notes

Every step brings out a different side of Kintamani’s character.

6. The Luwak Garden Experience

Meet the stars of our farm — the free-roaming Asian Palm Civets (Luwak).
Our Luwak Garden is a 1,150-tree sanctuary where 30 Luwaks roam freely among fruit trees and coffee plants.

They forage naturally, climb trees, and rest in shaded corners — just as they would in the wild.

🪴 Ethical, transparent, and sustainable — our Luwak live happily, and their coffee tells that story.

7. From Green to Gold: Roasting the Beans

Once the green beans are ready, we roast them right here on the farm.
Using a slow roast profile, we bring out each bean’s natural sweetness and aroma — resulting in a cup that’s smooth, balanced, and unmistakably Kintamani.

The perfect finish to your farm tour? A fresh cup, roasted on-site, just for you.
