Rice is not only steamed or fried, it is often an ingredient in cakes and even beverages. For example tajin is a type of beverage made from the liquid residue of steamed rice. Tajin looks similar to milk, in terms of its color and viscosity.
For the farmers in Jatiluwih, Tabanan regency, their main agricultural produce is brown rice, which is not only consumed as a staple food but also made into tea. One place to enjoy this unique tea is at Krishna Warung in Banjar Gunung Sari, in Jatiluwih, Tabanan.
It is very simple and quick to make a cup of brown rice tea — the rice is put in a cup and then covered with boiling water, which soon becomes brown, like regular tea. The taste of rice is very strong in brown rice tea, but it is not as thick as tajin.
At the food stall, you can sip the hot drink while enjoying the pretty landscape of the rice terraces and the cool breeze of Jatiluwih. Local farmers usually drank brown rice tea for health purposes. The antioxidants are believed to be able to improve stamina, digestion, as well as blood circulation.
In addition to serving brown rice tea in their food stall, Krishna Warung also sells brown rice tea in nice packaging, so you could make your own at home. A 200-gram box of brown rice tea is sold for only Rp 10,000. This package is also organically certified and labeled by the national organic certified.
