Hello coffeelovers
I was waiting for the bus home after office hours. A few days ago, my office was being renovated and we moved to another building. When I was about to go home while reading Alfie The Werewolf, I accidentally found a middle-aged man who had prepared his wares. Yes, there were indeed many street food vendors on the side of the road. I gasped when I saw the huge sign: Coffee Malik, Manual Brew Only.
What an interesting!
Because I was curious, I approached and asked the seller. He told me that he sold coffee with a coffee bean variant that I had never seen before. That day, even though I had already drunk coffee, I felt like I had to try it. So I ordered a cup of coffee with a type of coffee bean: Mekarwangi Lychee Tea.
Here is the Mekarwangi Lychee Tea coffee Bean.
Besides, there are two packs of others coffee beans.
You might be fooled by the Tea phrase on the package. The seller said that it was indeed coffee beans, not tea. So he took some coffee beans from the package and ground them with a manual grinder. I witnessed it myself.
While worried that my destination bus would arrive before the coffee was ready, I continued to watch the seller grind the coffee beans manually. As written on the box, manual brew is also manual grinding.
The seller brewed my coffee slowly with the right water temperature. He patiently put the kettle on the stove and continued to brew my coffee. After a few minutes, my coffee was done. For a cup of this manual brew, I paid around USD 1.1. Not too expensive, but not cheap either. Are you curious about the taste? Let me explain…
According to the type of coffee bean, I can feel that this coffee is a little sour. The sour taste comes from the lychee flavor and the combination with the type of coffee bean. It is a very interesting taste. I think I should to try the others coffee bean. I impressed with The Lokatara Ijen. I hope I can meet that street coffee seller again.
And by the way, I use my own mug. It is such a coincidence when I bring my own mug so I can do zero waste.
Thanks in advance, to read my blog and hope you like my post!
See you on the next post...

Hi, Halo, Annyeong! Welcome to my galaxy.
I have so much imagination in my head. Something that I can't achieve as a human and as a girl. So writing is very challenging. Since Junior High School, I have written whatever I want to write. Without skill, I just write what I want to read. Now I have 12th published novels and all of those are romance.
Yeah, I proudly say that I am a passionate author, traveler wannabe, and blogger.
