The Luxury of a Coffee at the West Edge of Indonesia
Sabang is the farthest city in western Indonesia. Located
on the island of Weh island covering an area of only 156.3 km2 has a rich
landscape, from the volcano, waterfalls, underwater garden, and of course
beaches. Not only rich with geographical, Sabang is also famous with the
culinary and cultural charm. Speaking of culinary, Aceh coffee is the leading dish
if we visit this city. Aceh coffee has been widely known as Gayo, is the
people's daily servings here.
Aceh Coffee itself processed traditionally, with a filtering.
Coffee has been brewed and then filtered with coffee cups and water dropped
from the cup aloft. This process is done repeatedly. The higher and the more
coffee is flowing through the air as they fall, the more acidity level will
reduced. In addition to filter coffee, there is also instant coffee. Instant
coffee only served directly with boiling water. But coffee lovers can enjoy rough
granules coffee (sometimes to chew) while sipping the black coffee. This type
of coffee is available in the packaging, so it can be taken and made without
filtering process. If you are not a connoisseur of black coffee, you can still
enjoy coffee Sanger. Coffee is served with milk. However, the dose of milk is
not excessive so that the taste of coffee still tasted, the tastes of milk are
subtle, and the level of acidity and bitterness of coffee reduced. Coffee
colors are also no longer black, but dark brown. Types of coffee which is very
famous in Aceh alone are Coffee Ulee Kareng. Ulee Kareng is the name of the
area of coffee plantations that produce coffee with superior taste that is
very typical of Aceh.
Because of the pride of the people of Aceh to coffee and
life activities they can’t be separated from coffee, no wonder if the whole
coffee shop in Aceh receive special priority. The most visible is, the coffee
shop getting a top priority for the internet wi-fi network in Aceh. Several
large coffee shops also provide a private meeting room. No wonder if a business
meeting or local officials more smoothly carried out in a coffee shop. Starting
from gem stones conversation, to the talk of regional development can be found
in a coffee shop.
No need necked glass, or coffee concoction with foam from
well-known coffee brands in the United States to be luxurious. Enough with a
cup of coffee that cost less than IDR 5000, - you can enjoy a luxury. The
luxury of coffee enjoyment that is not found elsewhere, fast Internet connection,
and the friendliness of its people who immediately blend with a cup of coffee.
The wisdom of this community is not eroded by the times and the capitalist
expansion that invaded Indonesia. But they did not really reject the
development, such as taking internet facilities for regional progress through
their pride means of socialization, namely the coffee shop.
