Page "Indonesian cuisine" Paragraph 87

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.

Kopi susu ( coffee with sweetened condensed milk ) is an Indonesian version of Café au lait.
