Tea in the Bottle

Teh Botol Sosro is a big brand of Indonesian jasmine tea packed in bottle. Sosro was taken from Sosrodjojo, the name of company owner. The business was started in 1940, but the first bottled tea was introduced in 1970. Now, Teh Botol Sosro plays a major role in the bottled baverages business in Indonesia, after Coca Cola. This Teh Botol Sosro street seller is one of their strong front business chains.

Sounds good — I'd like to be able to try it someday. Here, our bottled teas are based on green tea, not jasmine. Also started by a local company, though Nestlé now has its own line too.

C'est encore un "petit métier" comme on n'en voit plus chez nous !
