Hot orange is the latest drink in the Bireley's series which has been around since 1951. It contains 10% Valencia orange juice and 45mg of vitamin C.
A touch of honey sweetens the taste.
140 yen for 275-mil PET bottle and 115 yen for can.

Thanks Naomi, I guess your last sentence you mean when you feel like you are catching a cold, right? I may be bold and daring enough to go out and try this new drink but to tell you the truth, I hate the tastes of any citrus drinks that come from the canned containers, I think they have a very canny taste and it just sends shivers down my backbone, including right now! But if you all down in Indonesia love it, well KANPAI! CHEERS and enjoy!

Yes, Indonesia is hot all the year but not as humid as Japan (what I experienced). So it tastes good even in hot season. It's become a tradition to drink it, esp. when you feel like getting cold.

Hot drinks in Indonesia?? why?? Coming from Mexico, where my home town, Mexicali gets over 50 centigrade in the summer, anything hot in the hot months just sounds horrible, maybe in the winter but I really doubt Indonesia even has a winter right??

Nice! So now I have more choices besides hot lemon. Most of restaurant in Indonesia are serving hot orange drink!

Well, I'll keep an open mind and try it once at least.

Greek oranges?? I am sure they must be yummy, but just the thought of orange juice HOT?? Makes me sick and ready to go into convulsions!

Well, there is hot lemon too. Maybe it isn't that bad. Bireleys used to make this really nice Hotel Breakfast juice but ever after 3/11 they stopped making it. Too bad. Orange juice is best when it is freshly squeezed especially with Greek oranges. Japan should import Greek or Turkish oranges, they are the only ones that taste really good says me, the world traveller.
