Bali Coffee that break the meeting
8 October 2008Coffee usually always starts your day in the morning and accompanies meals or breaks at a meeting. Why? Because meetings at all times, are completed with a 'coffee break' and also accompanied by a 'tea break' as an alternative. It does not only indulge the tongue but also relieves the senses. Coffee has become a favorite drink for most people around the world, either young or old. Each region or countries have different and distinctive ways to make it. One may blend it with milk, chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and so forth.

This delicious drink was first brewed by the Arabs of Yemen and picked from a small evergreen tree Coffee Arabica. Through the centuries, it has spread out the world over. The Balinese also grow it in Pupuan, Wanagiri, Kintamani and other places. Some Balinese may prefer less strong coffee, so when roasting they blend it with white sticky rice.
Coffee in Bali is not only a drink but it also accompanies an oblation to ancestors. It can be seen at traditional markets where Hindu merchants put offerings on a pelangkiran or offerings on a wooden platform. The coffee is served in small cups used by the Chinese to drink wine.
Coffee beans or processed coffee can also be obtained here in Bali for taking home. It is available at special gift shops or supermarkets. This coffee is grown and processed here or served at a cafe or restaurant everywhere on the island and at hotel coffee shops.
