kopioey1. Kopi Oey
Kopi Oey is the brainchild of Indonesia’s most respected food critic, the late Bondan Winarno (R.I.P). Kopi OEY aims to introduce its guests to the Chinese Peranakan coffee and tea house experience while also showcasing Bondan Winarno’s Javanese heritage. Kopi Oey is now widely spread across Indonesia, and even beyond the Java island.
Kopi Oey has several joints across Jakarta, being the one in Jalan Sabang, Menteng, Central Jakarta. The interior is a sight to behold: it’s spacious without giving away the intimacy, thanks to its warm, dim lighting and wooden ornaments you can imagine seeing in a Peranakan home. People of all ages can sit together and enjoy both the vintage atmosphere and the delectable food and beverages Kopi Oey offers.
While Kopi Oey doesn’t boast a wide range of tea varieties, it’s the experience that counts. Fans of authentic Indonesian tea flavors can enjoy the Teh Djahe Salatiga, Teh Tarik Semenandjoeng, Teh Blontank, Teh Tjap Potji, and Teh Anti Flu. Doesn’t it all scream colonial-era Jakarta? It does! So, we suggest putting this cafe onto your wishlist if you’re a big fan of Jakarta’s colonial history like us.

lewisandcarolltea4. Lewis & Caroll
Lewis & Caroll is no new face to the artisanal tea scene. Their dedication is what makes them the no. 1 tea laboratory and brewery in all of Jakarta, if not Indonesia. With a name touting British tea-loving writers C.S Lewis and Lewis Caroll, it’s no surprise that they’re aiming for the tale-like essence, just like in Wonderland.
Tea lovers can come up to Lewis & Caroll to take a whiff of various tea blends in tall chemical tubes and see how the baristas prepare tea. We can’t do enough justice for their tea selections, so it’s best to visit the nearest Lewis & Caroll Tea by yourself. But let us give you some teasers: do Over the Waterfall and Snow Leopard sound like the conventional tea blend to you? So, gather your (tea) drinking buddies for a high tea party at Lewis & Caroll. We promise you, their cakes and desserts are no trivial treats either!
