Twilight descended when a hundred people gathered at Novotel Hotel in Bandar Lampung on Friday (29/9). The aroma of coffee brought by farmers and business players filled the room despite the rain. The International Coffee Day event turned romantic.

From Singapore, Robert Holthausen came a long way to Lampung only to taste a variety of Robusta coffee at the event. The commercial director of CWT Commodities Pte, an international logistics company, tasted the Robusta coffee one by one.
