Losari Coffee Plantation

My mom came to visit and we flew from Jakarta to Jogja and then drove two hours to a tropical oasis in central Java to Losari Coffee Plantation, surrounded entirely by volacanoes. The views were stunning.

We woke up early to do yoga in an open-air hut, overlooking the lush vegetation. We drank "jamu", herbal remedies, mixed by "ahli jamu" (an herbalist) and walked on the plantation grounds, visiting the organic garden & traveled on foot to the various stages of coffee production. We ate fresh palm sugar & minature bananas plucked from the trees...
