Kopi Indonesia


Kopi Indonesia

Dari Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas
Kopi pada saat digoreng di Toko Aroma, Bandung, Indonesia
Pengolahan kopi di Sumatra, Indonesia.
Kopi Indonesia saat ini menempati peringkat keempat terbesar di dunia dari segi hasil produksi. Kopi di Indonesia memiliki sejarah panjang dan memiliki peranan penting bagi pertumbuhan perekonomian masyarakat di Indonesia. Indonesia diberkati dengan letak geografisnya yang sangat cocok difungsikan sebagai lahan perkebunan kopi. Letak Indonesia sangat ideal bagi iklim mikro untuk pertumbuhan dan produksi kopi.

[sunting]Asal-usul

Pada era Tanam Paksa atau Cultuurstelsel (1830—1870) masa penjajahan Belanda diIndonesia, pemerintah Belanda membuka sebuah perkebunan komersial pada koloninya diHindia Belanda, khususnya di pulau Jawa, pulau Sumatera dan sebahagian Indonesia Timur. Jenis kopi yang dikembangkan di Indonesia adalah kopi jenis Arabika yang didatangkan langsung dari Yaman. Pada awalnya pemerintah Belanda menanam kopi di daerah sekitarBatavia (Jakarta), SukabumiBogorMandailing dan Sidikalang. Kopi juga ditanam di Jawa TimurJawa TengahJawa BaratSumatraSulawesiTimor dan Flores. Pada permulaan abad ke-20 perkebunan kopi di Indonesia mulai terserang hama, yang hampir memusnahkan seluruh tanaman kopi. Akhirnya pemerintah penjajahan Belanda sempat memutuskan untuk mencoba menggantinya denga jenis Kopi yang lebih kuat terhadap serangan penyakit yaitukopi Liberika dan Ekselsa. Namun didaerah Timor dan Flores yang pada saat itu berada di bawah pemerintahan bangsa Portugis tidak terserang hama meskipun jenis kopi yang dibudidayakan disana juga kopi Arabica.
Biji kopi yang telah digoreng
Pemerintah Belanda kemudian menanam kopi Liberika untuk menanggulangi hama tersebut. Varietas ini tidak begitu lama populer dan juga terserang hama. Kopi Liberika masih dapat ditemui di pulau Jawa, walau jarang ditanam sebagai bahan produksi komersial. Biji kopi Liberika sedikit lebih besar dari biji kopi Arabika dan kopi Robusta. sebenarnya, perkebunan kopi ini tidak terserang hama, namun ada revolusi perkebunan dimana buruh perkebunan kopi menebang seluruh perkebunan kopi di Jawa pada khususnya dan di seluruh Indonesia pada umumnya.

[sunting]Status industri saat ini

Robusta menggantikan kopi Liberika. Walaupun ini bukan kopi yang khas bagi Indonesia, kopi ini menjadi bahan ekspor yang penting di Indonesia.
Bencana alam, Perang Dunia II dan perjuangan kemerdekaan - semuanya mempunyai peranan penting bagi kopi di Indonesia. Pada awal abad ke-20 perkebunan kopi berada di bawah kontrol pemerintahan Belanda. Infrastruktur dikembangkan untuk mempermudah perdagangan kopi. Sebelum Perang Dunia II di Jawa Tengah terdapat jalur rel kereta api yang digunakan untuk mengangkut kopi, gula, merica, teh dan tembakau ke Semarang untuk kemudian diangkut dengan kapal laut. Kopi yang ditanam di Jawa Tengah umumnya adalah kopi Arabika. Kopi Arabika juga banyak diproduksi di kebun - kebun seperti (KayumasBlawanKalisat/Jampit)di Bondowoso, Jawa Timur. Sedangkan kopi robusta di Jawa Timur, banyak diproduksi dari kebun - kebun seperti Ngrangkah Pawon (Kediri), Bangelan (Malang), Malangsari, Kaliselogiri (Banyuwangi). Di daerah pegunungan dari Jember hingga Banyuwangi terdapat banyak perkebunan kopi Arabika dan Robusta. Kopi Robusta tumbuh di daerah rendah sedangkan kopi Arabika tumbuh di daerah tinggi.
Setelah kemerdekaan banyak perkebunan kopi yang diambil alih oleh pemerintah yang baru atau ditinggalkan. Saat ini sekitar 92% produksi kopi berada di bawah petani-petani kecil atau koperasi.

Welcome to The Corner Cafe Blog Book Tour!


Join us for the latest wild and crazy experiment at the BBT CafĂ©, the online social group for all the writers who have taken my blog book tours classes over the past few years! This community of about 100 authors supports each other’s writing efforts through daily social media interaction, blog book tours, and by sharing information and conversation as the publishing world changes. And, boy, is it ever changing fast!

In the past few years, the opportunities for self-publishing have burgeoned, and the stigma attached is virtually non-existent. Only an Old Publishing School dinosaur would think of self-publishing as an inferior option. Programs like Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing have leveled the playing field, and more authors are jumping into the game every day.

This fertile publishing ground is what inspired The Corner CafĂ© short story collection. We noticed that authors were starting to give away samples and old titles in e-book format, and that it resulted in increased sales on their other titles. Even a free day or two tended to increase sales when the regular price of a title came back. 

Without too much forethought about what we were stumbling into, we decided to put together a collection of our very own around a common theme: The Corner CafĂ©. The object was for readers to sample various writing styles, and tempt them to link to other works by the contributing authors. We’d promote the new project via a month-long blog book tour (what else?), and track sales each day, as well as measure download bumps the five free days allowed by the KDP Select program. (Seth Godin suggests free is a good marketing strategy in publishing. Here’s his post about it.) So we’re putting it to the test. That’s the short version of how it all came about over the past four months. You can get more gory details at the various blogs listed below throughout June.

Let me tell you a little bit about the book’s content. Here’s the description on Amazon:

Sweet, dreamy, steamy, and sometimes slightly seamy, this multi-genre collection of short stories includes something for every taste. Prepared by the BBT Café authors: Marian Allen, Shonell Bacon, Karen Casey Fitzjerrell, W.S. Gager, Helen Ginger, Dani Greer, S.B. Lerner, Audrey Lintner, Morgan Mandel, Maryann Miller, Bodie Parkhurst, Bob Sanchez, Mary Montague Sikes, Red Tash, Christine Verstraete.

These are just a few of the teasers each author submitted for their respective stories:
  • In The Catfish Enchantment by Marian Allen: Cosmo’s father deserted the family and died unforgiven, his mother is sinking into depression, he’s started cutting himself to relieve the pain, and his boss suggests…a tattoo?
  • In The Eyes Have It by W.S. Gager: Crimebeat reporter Mitch Malone hates going to church, but when he gets rooked into speaking to the Bible-toting ladies, he may be facing the devil himself as he investigates the prayer group's missing purses.
  • In The Consequences of Breaking and Entering by Audrey Lintner, Goldilocks gets an update and her comeuppance.
  • In Perfect Timing by Christine Verstraete, a rescued pup helps Corner CafĂ© owner Gina Mason find love and thwart a would-be robber.
You can also read the first two chapters using Amazon’s Look Inside feature. If it sounds like something you’d like to download to your Kindle, here’s the link to buy. Only 99 cents!

Monday at the Corner Cafe

Today, we're visiting Marian Allen's blog and chatting with Red Tash about Star Trek. If you're a Trekkie, do join the conversation over at our virtual Corner Cafe.

We had an active weekend of free downloads of The Corner Cafe: A Tasty Collection of Short Stories, so thanks to all who now are happily reading on their Kindles. We'd love a short review of your favorite story at our Amazon page! It's kind of thrilling to reading good reviews of the book! http://www.amzn.to/Cornercafe



It was also very cool to hit #2 on the Top 100 Free Kindle Books list. It's darn-near close to the very top. When you think about it, being the Super Bowl loser isn't such a bad thing either, is it? Leave me a comment and tell me what you think!

Today on day # 4 of the blog book tour, author Mary Montague Sikes visits with Sherry Wachter of Magic Dog Press and they talk about how our personal experiences can evolve into a fictional short story. It's an interesting interview! Have you ever used the "what if" writing prompt in your writing? What if you hadn't found your child after she disappeared around the corner at the art museum? Every parent's nightmare!

Drop in on our pals as they discuss this at the Corner Cafe: http://bit.ly/CCMagic

Don't just eavesdrop - join the conversation!

Eventful Day at the Corner Cafe

A most eventful Top 100 List day on Tuesday - we managed to get to #13 on the hot new releases in short stories,and then dropped off that list. This morning we're back at #97. We're still listed in genre fiction urban life, and have moved up to #49. Maybe we need more people to click " like" on our Amazon page? http://www.amzn.to/Cornercafe

As to Amazon ranking, we moved up to #19,118 by this morning. Our benchmark on Monday morning was #100,654, so we've had some nice improvement in the first three days of the blog book tour.

While you're at the Amazon page, take the opportunity to read the first two stories with the Look Inside feature. You'll also notice that all our authors have pictures and links at the bottom of the page, and you can click over to see what else they've written.

Today, I visit Red Tash for day #3 of the blog book tour with a lengthy interview about this project and what I see coming in the publishing world. Come join the conversation and ask me some questions! Of course, you can leave comments and questions here, too.

Exciting Times at the Corner Cafe

It's day 2 of our blog book tour and we're visiting one of the Corner Cafe contributors, Bob Sanchez at his blog. Do run over and leave him a comment or question about the book. Thanks to Stephen Tremp for giving us some ideas for getting out of the comfort zone when writing. We're going to get him into the Corner Cafe project next time so we can promote his stories a bit!

Now here's some interesting information about this project. I told you part of our goal was to track statistics in this somewhat controlled group of writers. Of course, we all want to see sales, but I'm trying to ignore that for right now, except to the extent that sales relate to Amazon ranking and other statistics that indicate discovery and popularity.

We started the blog book tour on Monday morning with an Amazon ranking of 100,654 in Kindle books. This morning, our ranking is 20,344. Quite an improvement!

We got one five-star rating with a glowing review. Love these. Want more!

Most importantly, we've already hit a Kindle Bestseller List! We are #68 in Paid Genre Fiction Urban Life. Not bad for one day of social marketing.
If the book is starting to sound interesting to you, you can find it here and it's only 99 cents. Download it and see what you think. We'd love a few more good reviews from indie readers. Who knew a well-written review would bring such pleasure?

Have questions about this project - please leave them in the comments and we'll be glad to answer.
