Etymology
There is a term WASGITEL for teh poci, which is an acronym of the Javanese words ''wangi'' (fragrant), ''panas'' (hot), ''sepet'' (astringent), ''legi'' (sweet), and ''kentel'' (thick). This describes the characteristics of *teh poci* as hot tea that is sweet, fragrant with jasmine aroma, and has a dark/thick black color.
Teh poci typically uses green tea or jasmine tea, which releases a distinctive aroma, and is usually served in the morning, afternoon, or evening, accompanied by snacks. The inside of the teapot used for brewing teh poci is usually never washed; instead, only the leftover tea is discarded. The people of Tegal believe that the leftover tea residue will enhance the taste and aroma of the teh poci, making it even more delicious. 1
