Indonesia Is Among World's Best Destinations for Coffee Tours

Live and Invest Overseas, a popular website on international living, retiring abroad, and investing has recently included Indonesia into the list of 8 best world's destinations for coffee tasting, and that is why.

It was the Dutch who first introduced coffee to Indonesia in the 17th century. The geographical location, climate and soil conditions of Indinesian islands proved to be ideal for growing coffee. No wonder that coffee farming spread across the country very quickly becoming one of the major industries. 
These days, Indonesia produces as much as 660,000 metric tons of coffee every year. Coffee produced on different islands varies in its characteristics depending on microclimate, soil type, and coffee bean variety. While both arabica and robusta are grown, of the exports, arabica accounts for 25%. One of the world’s most expensive coffees, Luwak coffee, is produced in Indonesia, too. The process of Luwak coffee production is a complicated one: the beans are first eaten by civet cat, an Indonesian member of the cat family, and then collected after the pass though the civets' digestive system and partly digested.
To taste the region’s best coffee, embark on a coffee tour in Bali or Java. Some of the local coffee plantations offer guided tours of their production lines and allow visitors to watch the workers in action, demonstrating the traditional techniques they’ve used for centuries.
