Kopyor

Although the name sounds like something out of an eastern europie. Kopyor is one of the most refreshing drinks available in bali. Kopyor comes from mutated coconuts. Unlike regular coconuts, which have their meat attached to the wall of the shell in a solid form, this mutant has a loose and spongier meat. K

opyor is more expensive to buy than regular coconut, but some would say that it is worth the extra money because it is so much sweeter than the average coconut. As well as being available as a drink it can also be used as a desert.

Teh Tarik

However it is an iconic Balanese speciality. If you have tried English tea then you’ll find this local drink in Bali quite familiar. Teh tarik is made from black tea and condensed milk. Different kinds of spices like cardamom or cinnamon are added into it. It can be served hot or iced. It is creamy and refreshing but we only recommend if you like sweet drinks.
