Dusk slowly arrived as around a dozen people gathered at a coffee shop in downtown Bandar Lampung on Friday (17/1/2020). The aroma of freshly ground coffee beans filled the air together with the smell of the rain that began to drop. The scene was particularly romantic.

Ryzal Aziz, 28, went all the way from Jakarta to Bandar Lampung to get a taste of the Lampung robusta coffee. The man, who lived in Bandar Lampung five years ago, missed sipping coffee with his college mates. Cups of coffee warmed Ryzal’s meeting with his two close friends.
