BaliSpirit Festival
Coming up to its 11th edition, BaliSpirit Festival is a worldwide famous community gathering held in the central highlands close to Ubud, in a luscious and tropical scenery.

It is a refreshing, sparkling probiotic drink, naturally fermented with carbonated water and active Kristal Kefir live culture.
