Kintamani single-origin arabica, roasted 250g

A distinguished origin bought at the farm gate for half of Western specialty pricing — and the honest alternative to the luwak tourist trap

Price: 150000 IDR (Specialty-grade roasted Kintamani arabica 250g at Bali roasters/farm shops (typical range Rp 120,000-180,000))

Where to buy: Roasteries and farm shops around Kintamani/Ubud (buy roast-dated bags), or specialty cafes in Canggu — not roadside 'luwak plantation' tour stops

• Kintamani arabica holds Indonesia's first coffee geographic indication — citrusy, grown on volcanic soil above 1,200m
• ETHICS WARNING — kopi luwak: we recommend against it; most is from battery-caged civets kept in cruel conditions, 'wild-sourced' claims are largely unverifiable, and blind tastings don't justify Rp 500,000+/100g. Skip the plantation-tour sales pitch
• Check the roast date; airport and supermarket bags can be a year old
• Roasted beans clear US and Indian customs easily if declared
