Yogyakarta, located in south-central Java, Indonesia, is the birthplace of Java culture and art, with developed literature and dance, many reliefs and statues, and the world-famous Buddhist monument of Borobudur.

However, today we are not here to introduce tourism, but to solemnly launch a local on-site brewing and baking pure handmade special drink. Kopi Joss is a kind of charcoal burning ash unique to Yogyakarta. Yes, it is fresh charcoal burning, not three-in-one charcoal burning.

After experiencing Vietnamese Egg Coffee, American Candle Cup Coffee, Finnish Cheese Coffee, Singapore Butter Coffee, Mexican Flame Falls Coffee and Indonesian Musk Coffee, the addition of Kopi Joss can definitely be the finishing touch in the Baby Coffee ceremony.

Locally, a cup of Kopi Luwak costs 50, 000 rupiah (25 yuan), while a cup of Kopi Joss costs only 4, 000 rupiah (2 yuan). Most importantly, you can witness the complete transition from regular coffee to charcoal coffee, drinking and playing, with a comprehensive performance-to-price ratio of NO.1.

At the roadside tea stalls in Yogyakarta, locals usually spend time there, chatting with friends, smoking, resting, or eating some snacks. You can easily find a pure Kopi Joss here, and tourists who come here basically choose to try this local famous drink.

After confirming your needs, the boss will first pour some coffee into the cup, then fill it with hot water and sugar, skillfully pick up the hot water pot, pick up two pieces of red-hot carbon from the bottom and add it to the coffee. at that moment, the sound in the water proved that they were "fresh". Soon, as the temperature of the fiery carbon drops, it turns back to the pitch black it was before burning.

It is understood that Kopi Joss coffee has a history of more than 50 years, has been deeply loved by the local people for many years, and has now become a habit. Some local coffee mixers say that this drink can help restore a person's strength, and this drink is famous locally because of its curiosity.

The ash content of charcoal is lower than that of ordinary coffee, perhaps because some of it is absorbed by charcoal. The high humidity of the charcoal fire also matches the acidity of the coffee, with a unique smell and a hint of caramel. So what are the benefits of charcoal-fired coffee? It is said that charcoal helps to neutralize stomach acid and has long been used as a remedy for abdominal distension, digesting food and curing gastrointestinal problems.

Maybe you will stare at this cup of curry ash, which has a purer color than cuttlefish juice for a long time, and ask yourself again and again: is it carbon ash to drink after precipitation? Or drink it now while it's hot? Won't you get dirty if you eat charcoal ash into your stomach?

It doesn't matter, everything you eat will get dirty, not to mention you've accepted all the cat shit, haven't you? There are different eating habits and ways in different countries, dare to try, this is the true meaning of travel. Now that you're here, give it a try. At best, it's just diarrhea, and it seems that tourists who let down their guard and drink it don't seem to have any adverse reactions afterwards.
