Low-lying clouds touch the canopies of the Colol Highlands on Saturday (10/2/2018) in Poco Ranaka district, East Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara. The Juria coffee variety, which has been cultivated for 50 years, can still be found in the area.

Coffee and sugar are recorded in the history of civilization in this country. In the past, when knowledge and technology were not yet widespread, people searched for ways to enjoy coffee by using a variety of methods to try and reduce the bitterness of the black beverage.

"Let\'s taste it. The coffee is thick, but it seems naturally sweet, right? Fresher," Rosmina, 35, a resident of Jambi Tulo village in Maro Sebo district, Muaro Jambi, Jambi province, said on Thursday (10/5/2017).
