Jakarta – Solo Ice Tea, a cold drink consisting of a mixture of tea, sugar and ice cubes, has become a favorite among various groups. Uniquely, Iced Tea Solo is not only enjoyed because of its refreshing taste, but also because of the story behind the name of the drink. Solo, the name of a city in Central Java, was the inspiration for the name of this drink. History records that Solo Ice Tea was first known in the city of Solo and then spread to various regions in Indonesia.
“Doing a solo iced tea business only requires a small capital and the method of making it is quite easy, just like brewing tea in general, and I can get up to double the profit,” said Karmawan, a solo iced tea seller when interviewed in the Kalideres area, West Jakarta on Sunday. (24/12).
Furthermore, according to Karmawan, “Buyers also really like the taste of this unique Solo Iced Tea.”
In recent years, the iced tea business has experienced a significant increase. One type of iced tea that is currently in high demand is solo iced tea. In almost every place there is a booth or stand selling this type of iced tea, even within a few hundred meters you can find other solo iced tea sellers. Solo iced tea is iced tea served in small to jumbo plastic packaging. This iced tea is usually sold at an affordable price, namely around IDR 3,000 to IDR 4,000 per glass.
“The disadvantage of the Solo Iced Tea business is that when the weather is rainy, income decreases slightly. Apart from that, I also experience an increase in the price of sugar. Usually, I buy sugar at Rp. 14,000, but now the price of sugar has increased to Rp. 16,000,” said Karmawan, a Solo Ice Tea seller when interviewed in the Kalideres area, West Jakarta on Sunday (24/12).
This Solo Iced Tea trend shows that street drinks still have their own appeal among society. With the great benefits on offer, it is not surprising that more and more sellers are interested in joining the Solo Es Teh franchise.
“I really like Solo Iced Tea. It tastes fresh and the price is relatively cheap or affordable for all groups, I buy Solo Iced Tea almost every day,” said Viviyani, a Kalideres resident who was interviewed in the Kalideres area, West Jakarta on Sunday (24 /12).
Not only in Kalideres, Solo Iced Tea has also spread to various areas of Jakarta and even outside Jakarta. Through a franchise system, Es Teh Solo can reach a wider market and provide business opportunities for the community.
Iced Teh Solo offers a variety of flavors, namely original tea with added lime juice and lemon juice. The fresh taste and relatively cheap price make Iced Teh Solo an attractive choice for people who want to enjoy fresh drinks. By adding lemon or lime juice you only spend IDR 5,000 per glass.
“Sometimes if I want to drink something fresh, sometimes I buy a different variant besides the original tea which adds lime, it tastes much fresher and has a little sourness, because lime juice is added.” said Viviyani, a Kalideres resident who was interviewed in the Kalideres area, West Jakarta on Sunday (24/12).
