Reporting from the TasteAtlas and Wonderful Indonesia sites (11/15), here are 6 traditional coffees that are unique and authentic to Indonesia.
1. Tebalek Coffee, Aceh
In first place is kupi khop typical of Meulaboh, West Aceh. This coffee gets a lot of attention from coffee lovers because of its unique presentation which doesn’t seem to exist anywhere else. It is often referred to as Tebalek (upside down) coffee because of its unique presentation.
Kupi khop is served in a glass, covered tightly with a small plate, then quickly turned over. This process, which is related to the amount of air pressure, allows the coffee filling not to spill. To enjoy it, kupi khop connoisseurs can blow the coffee filling into the glass with a straw or pipette. Later the water will slowly come out of the sides of the glass.
For this type of coffee, Kupi Khop uses robusta coffee beans whose grains are still coarse. In 2019 the West Aceh Regency Government declared Kupi Khop as an Intangible Cultural Heritage (WBT) of West Aceh Regency.
