Yogyakarta April 23 2024 Hotel Kirana

Unfortunately, no "street photography shots" today. The rainy weather, with occasional heavy and prolonged showers, has led me to decide to stay in the hotel. Therefore, here are a few shots of Hotel Kirana in Yogyakarta, where I'll be staying until April 30, 2024.

Yogyakarta April 15 2024 Loewak kopi
The high price of kopi luwak is not caused by the fact that the coffee berries themselves
are so rare, but by the very special production process.
Kopi is the Indonesian word for "coffee" and luwak is the local name
or a civet cat that eats the raw red coffee berries. The coffee cherry is grown on plantations. Here it is eaten by the luwak. The pulp is digested,
but the seeds are found in the feces of the luwak. They are washed and dried. After this they are lightly roasted. The amino acids released during the fermentation process act on the kernels during roasting and provide the special taste. Since the defecated berries are difficult to find, the price is very high and the coffee has an exclusive character. The product is found in the Philippines, Vietnam, South India and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra,
Java, Bali and Celebes, among others. Only about 200 kg of kopi luwak is produced each year from wild civets.
