And why is that? I think because of this photo

That is what I called "High Tea" !
Tea, Indonesian style is usually black and dark.
It could be plain tea or sweetened with much sugar.
It could be mixed with Jasmine petals ( Hmmm , fragrant ) or not.
Indonesians like their black sweetened teas
You can find Teh Botol ( or Bottle Tea...and that is brand ! )
which is sweetened black tea in put in bottles
You can find Teh Kotak (or Box Tea ... that is also the brand !)
which is sweetened black tea packaged in a box
There are also fruit flavored teas
The base is mostly black teas
Teas here which I found rather similar to the teas back home are
Red Rose Tea, Lipton black tea, English Breakfast tea and Earl Grey tea
And Indonesian don't usually put cream or lemon in their teas
If Australian like their bushwalking and Americans visit their apple orchards, Indonesians like their tea walk. Tea walk is walking around leisurely in the tea plantation, which usually in the mountain areas. Corporations and organizations do the outings in the tea plantations.
Ok, so much about Indonesian teas. I need a cup to warm myself in this cool autumn evening.
