The island's best-known coffee is Bali Kintamani coffee. This Arabica coffee is grown in the Kintamani highlands, which are located between two active volcanoes, Mount Batur and Mount Agung. The volcanic soil and the cooler climate at altitudes of 900 to 1,700 meters give the coffee a unique taste, which is often described as mild, fruity and slightly citrusy.

Another special feature of Kintamani coffee is the traditional method of cultivation. The agricultural system in Bali is organized by the traditional Subak system, whereby plantations are managed according to the specific Subak Abian system. This system plays a particularly important role in the mountainous regions where the valuable Bali Arabica coffee grows. These regions regulate water management, stabilize the soil and protect against landslides, while providing a significant economic resource for farmers. Sustainable agriculture is guided by the principles of the Subak Abian system, which are based on the Hindu concept of Tri Hita Karana: man's relationship with God(Parahyangan), with each other(Pawongan) and with the environment(Palemahan). These principles promote a balance between ecological and cultural values.
