RE: The most expensive coffee in the world: Luwak coffee - Bali, Indonesia

in #travel6 years ago

Alright, we get into the premise of the post if the title didn't hook me in so freaking massively: expensive coffee that sounds cool for the wrong reasons! Otherwise, that's an interesting economic factoid (ones I love very much as they skip the pretensions of stupid charts when we actually focus on what actually happens). Definitely would've put this on my bucket list if I hadn't a big hatred for coffee to begin with, but might go to Indonesia to try it out anyways...

I love planning things, especially when I allow for small things to be improvised along the way so I can sight see unexpected sights of daily life for people who are so used to their environment that they get a kick out of people are don't know certain structures exist. But I am happy that it turned out very neato for yah (and your partner in travel as well).

Luwak coffee! Now that's how you make an impression, second nature for probably the countless times they see visitors and can guess what to do to keep them interested. Now while most people, in at least as I can speak for the Western / Global North people, would barf at the idea of recycled waste, I would point out we use manure for soil enrichment for crops. So I just looked at it and said "huh, that's cool" and then I remembered how much the people I live in wouldn't eat something from recycled from defecation even if it was proven to be squeaky clean of everything bad/evil! At least the Global Periphery people are more mature when it comes to actually living. (Also that's the cutiest-patootiest angle of an animal I have never seen before and I just love it already. So many animals this Earth has spawned and not everybody in the World sees that varying animals of different parts of the World. <<<<3333!!!! Anywho, looks like any other coffee bean I could've used to make coffee right now if wanted to drink such a horrid thing that is coffee. Might make an exception to this due to how many things that break my regular perception of coffee: costs, origin, creation-n-recreation process and cleansing process. Definitely something for me to look out for.)

Well, that's something for travellers to Indonesia to keep note off if they ever stumble upon the same route yah travelled on. Definitely something I need to keep mind off if I ever acquire enough funds to travel to somewhere breathe-taking as Indonesia. I probably be agapsed if I heard the same thing even if I had already knew how Luwak coffee was made, probably because I have finally been convinced to try coffee for once. Also that's a very great thing when vendors and shoppes throw in extra stuff; not only for customary kindness but, economically for me at least, an opportunity to create a potential customer even if they are here short-term. Also shots from terraces!~ They are so pretty and capture much of the bird's eye point of view from an angle.

"Jungle Lust" already sounds like a cool place to be in. Also doing that was very sweet and very smart specially for the free promotion it can get from word of mouth (electronically and "real-life") to all sorts of people. I mean, they're playing cards right and very well here. Also tree-house view!~ (Very purty, gonna become a goop of happiness if I keep seeing beautiful picturas [pictures] like that.)

Ice cream - 'nuff said... What, 'nuff said since that's the nectar of the sweet tooth Gods. The fact that this is their reward for experimenting (and consequently talking about it post hoc) the "Jungle Lust" zipline course, well I must say they do have a golden heart despite having to also pay bills to continue operations.

Las fotos / Picturas (The photos / pictures): Okay lemme gush about those photos / pictures. Firstly, so silky smooth and clear (not smudged) they are in how they look. Secondly, so full of detail thanks to it not being smudged, I can tell a lot from foto/pictura a foto/pictura (photo/picture to photo/picture) and not have to zoom in to see stuff. Thirdly, the variety of shots taken and the variety of places within the same area - just creates a complete map of things while also exposing/implicating a lot of the area's beauty with so few fotos/picturas (photos/pictures). Also the video at the end was a nice and wholesome way to round things off. But to end this section, I really felt like these were windows I can hop into and just explore the area for a while even when things were frozen in space, you really caught the moment in moving stream of life.

El texto (The text): Okay let's make this intentionally short. Firstly, appropriate text-to-picture ratio for this kind of post and the attention each topic deserved. Sentences made picture-perfect sense for me and fit very well for the kind of post this audience is for. I say this a person that had English as their third language to be exposed too, despite it being the second language I studied under formally formally but the first language I use always in any a conversation. (The first language I know and was raised under was Polish, the second language of exposure would actually be either French or Spanish. But that's just #me factoids.) Also no syntax or grammar errors, like I expect that from a native English-speaking person anyways - damn shame if there was. Also everything is friendly in tone and I just <<<<3333 WHOLESOME!!!!~ <<<<3333

So congrats on the @curie upvote, keep on travelling and happy steeming!~

This has to be the longest comment I have ever read. I had a very busy few days. Therefore it took me a while to go through it. I’m really happy you enjoyed reading my post.

I do have to say that travellers are usually a lot more open minded than the average stay at home person. Drinking cat poop was a very unique experience, I just wanted to know what the fuzz is about. It made me curious and I had to try it. The civet cat is actually very picky and it will only eat the best coffee beans. It knows more about the coffee beans than us humans with all our technology. As a result, you will get the highest grade coffee from selectively picked coffee beans.

The people who work here at kumulilir are so kind and lovely. They know how to give value. They work on a value for value base and understand that if you give your customer more than what they pay for, they will come back. Not only will they come back, but they will talk about it and more people will come. This and the combination of a picturesque view and relaxing atmosphere makes it all perfect 👌

English is also my third language. But since I am now travelling full-time and blogging, I use it a lot more than my first language. My English is now a lot better than my second language. And it can only improve when I read, write and speak even more.

Thank you very much for your kind and extended comment. A big upvote for you and I hope you come and read again 😉

Welcome for the comment! ~^^~

Well it's a pleasure of mine to make the comment I did and that it was, primarily, readable as well~

Yeah, it's a necessity to be open minded for sure. Well, I gotta agree drinking essentially a cat's defecation is certainly interesting. But equally so that the civet cats knows what will taste good for them, we ought to be studying the beans we feed them with. Maybe that'll fix our estimates now.

Yeah, definitely on the nicer end of the spectrum and ones that will certainly thrive for a good amount of time (hopefully!). Regarding that, they do deserve the exposure they get now and hopefully be a spot on the map for tourists that do decide to hike up that trail now.

Twinzies!~ (haha, not really but still :p) Yeah, English is not only the language of business but now also the language of the Net. So work on it and you'll be able to grasp all of the internet within the palms of your hands!!!!~ <3

Thanks for the kind upvotes and sharing this post again!~
