Munduk COFFEE HARVEST 2023

Munduk COFFEE HARVEST 2023

Together with our sister company – Munduk Coffee – we produce specialty coffees from our own coffee beans and those of our close neighbours. Beans are hand picked when they are fully red, necessitating two or three rounds of harvest, typically between April and August. Our total harvest is about 1500 kg of dry bean.

At about 1100 meters above sea level the micro climate at Munduk Moding Plantation is ideal to grow coffee which was first introduced by the Dutch in the nineteenth century. We are still relying on descendants of coffee trees they imported at the time and which, word has it, were shipped from the island of Sulawesi. Historical records from Dutch times indicate that coffee was grown on a large scale in the area. Until the nineteen eighties, the hill stations of Gobleg and Munduk were recognised as the most productive areas on the island to grow coffee.

Munduk Coffee Getaway

Come and experience it at Bali’s only luxury resort located on a working coffee plantation. This programme provides a unique introduction to Munduk coffees, from harvesting cherries, producing green beans to roasting and blending and of course, sampling the fruits of the harvest through a cupping session. But there is more: our coffees are used in our welcome drink, our desserts and even in our Spa. You’ll get to enjoy all of this with The Munduk Coffee Getaway package – a sensory experience that has no parallel in Bali.
