A cup of
Java, Javanese kopi tubruk
The most
common and popular Indonesian drinks and beverages are teh (tea) and kopi (coffee). Indonesian households commonly serve teh manis
(sweet tea) or kopi tubruk (coffee mixed with sugar and hot water and
poured straight in the glass without separating out the coffee residue) to
guests. Since the colonial era of Netherlands East Indies, plantations,
especially in Java, were major producers of coffee, tea and sugar. Since then hot and sweet coffee and tea beverages
have been enjoyed by Indonesians. Jasmine tea is the most popular tea variety
drunk in Indonesia, however recent health awareness promotions have made green tea a popular choice. Usually coffee
and tea are served hot, but cold iced sweet tea is also frequently drunk. Kopi Luwak is Indonesian exotic and expensive
coffee beverage made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by
the Asian
Palm Civet (Paradoxurus
hermaphroditus) and other related civets. Teh botol, bottled sweet jasmine tea, is now
quite popular and locally competes favorably with international bottled soda
beverages such as Coca
Cola and Fanta.
